Bug Description

Several keys do not work, including:

Backspace
Delete
Up
Down
Left
Right

To reproduce in autopilot, try something like this:

self.keyboard.press_and_release("BackSpace")

This won't do anything on the device, but will work fine on the desktop.

Can someone please take this? We have tests for the keyuboard, but they do not currently test "special" keys. Perhaps we could add a second test that tests the enter keys, arrow keys, backspace and delete keys? Shouldn't be difficult at all.

Just linked a branch adding support for the left, right, top, down, backspace and delete keys. Do you need other keys?

This is still broken today. Marking the autopilot task as invalid, since this isn't a bug in autopilot itself.
