API to test global shortcuts
See original GitHub issueI have window that only shows when a key combination is pressed (Ctrl+Space by default).
The behaviour uses electron’s globalShortcut.
I have found no way of simulating the shortcut, is this possible somehow?
Keep it up!

I recommend this issue be re-opened. None of the above work-arounds work reliably (they’ve all worked for me at some point, but updates to Node, Electron, or new OS cause them to break, especially on macOS).
Given that Electron apps can and do use global shortcuts, it’d be great to be able to test them. As it stands, I’ve had to disable testing on macOS, because I can’t get spectron to handle global shortcuts like “Cmd+S”.
I am facing the same problem. RobotJS is nice and does the job well, but I really don’t want to add another dependency just to test a single feature of my app. Any chance for this to be implemented into Spectorn?
