hatzisn Expert Licensed User Longtime User Aug 17, 2025 #1 Hi all, I am using java.awt.Robot to send keys through a B4J app. In windows it works correctly sending Ctrl+V with no problem. Then in Linux I thought it was not working but then I noticed that Ctrl+V does work in the application but not outside of it. I am using Debian 12 in virtualbox. Is there a way to overcome this obstacle?

hatzisn Expert Licensed User Longtime User Aug 17, 2025 #3 It is a Wayland issue. On X11 it works correctly. I changed the compatibility to "gnome classic at xorg" (it has to be installed also) and I ran the test command: Bash: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE I tried different versions of gnome and when it displayed X11 instead of "wayland" everything worked as expected. It is also explained here: https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/wakefield/Known+problems+and+solutions Upvote 0

Maybe you are using another class. In oracle site it displays this information: Robot (Java SE 11 & JDK 11 ) Upvote 0
