Keyboard operations ​

What you’ll do ​

Send text and key combinations to the active window in a computer session.

Prerequisites ​

  • AGB_API_KEY
  • A valid computer automation image_id (e.g. agb-computer-use-ubuntu-2204)

Quickstart ​

python
from agb import AGB
from agb.session_params import CreateSessionParams

agb = AGB()
create_result = agb.create(CreateSessionParams(image_id="agb-computer-use-ubuntu-2204"))
if not create_result.success:
    raise SystemExit(create_result.error_message)

session = create_result.session
session.computer.input_text("Hello AGB!")
session.computer.press_keys(keys=["Ctrl", "a"])

agb.delete(session)

Common tasks ​

Text input ​

python
result = session.computer.input_text("Hello, World!")
print(result.success, result.error_message)

Key combinations ​

python
session.computer.press_keys(keys=["Ctrl", "a"])  # select all
session.computer.press_keys(keys=["Ctrl", "c"])  # copy
session.computer.press_keys(keys=["Ctrl", "v"])  # paste

Hold and release keys ​

python
session.computer.press_keys(keys=["Ctrl"], hold=True)
session.computer.release_keys(keys=["Ctrl"])

Best practices ​

  • Ensure the right window is active before typing (see docs/computer/windows.md).
  • Add delays if the app needs time to process inputs.

Troubleshooting ​

Text goes to the wrong place ​

  • Likely cause: wrong window is active, or focus is not on a text field.
  • Fix: activate the target window and click the input field before typing.
