Debugging keyboard shortcuts not working if another window has focus

Posted on by thbeatty1

I don't seem to be able to use the keyboard shortcuts in PAD while another window has focus; is this intended? I'm talking specifically about F5 for Run, F10 for Run Next Action, Ctrl + Pause for Pause, etc.

I am coming from Softomotive's ProcessRobot and WinAutomation software which allows this. Debugging web element data entry and web button clicks step-by-step doesn't seem possible if you have to un-focus the web window (which can clear input data) to run the next action or pause the flow.

Am I just missing something here? Sure, I can set up a "focus window" action and breakpoints to test each individual action, but this isn't very efficient.

I have this same problem. PAD designer Debugger - F10 Key - Next Action is not recognized when the Application screen - web app page in chrome browser is displayed instead of PAD designer screen, as your are stepping through the PAD flow execution if Web browser app.

I never had this issue in ProcessRobot, nor Winautomation.

Can this be fixed ?
