> Hello, dear mr.Wall.
> 
> Thank you very much for the Abbot Framework, it is a very handy thing.
> 
> My user experience suggests that default recorder method actionKeyString() is not convenient for the following two reasons:
> 1) it is sensitive to the keyboard layout at the time of script execution (it is a perceptibly trouble for not English users);
> 2) it works not fast and visibly extends the testing execution time.
> 
> So I replaced actionKeyString() to call my custom method contains just JTextComponent.setText().
> Then for convenience I added it to my Robot.java and my ComponentTester.java.
> 
> If you think that it is acceptable practice, then you or I could add the similar code to Abbot Project:
> 
> 1) abbot/tester/ComponentTester.java
> 
> /** Directly set the given text to the given component.
>  * Used for rapid repeat the same actions.
>  * Also that method not depends on the keyboard layout 
>  * unlike {@link #actionKeyString(Component, String)}
>  */
> public void actionSetText(Component c, String string) {
>     actionFocus(c);
>     setText(string);
>     waitForIdle();
> }
> 2) abbot/tester/Robot.java
> 
> import javax.swing.text.JTextComponent;
> 
> (...)
> 
> /** Directly sets the given string. */
> public void setText(String str) {
>     Component focus = findFocusOwner();
>     if (focus == null) {
>         Log.warn(&#34;No component has focus, setText discarded&#34;,
>                 Log.FULL_STACK);
>         return;
>     }
>     try {
>         ((JTextComponent) focus).setText(str);
>     } catch (Exception e) {
>         Log.warn(&#34;Component can not be cast to JTextComponent&#34;,
>                 Log.FULL_STACK);
>     }
> }
