Recorder cannot playback keyboard events

[fabiankreutz]

Try it out with this simple main.py: http://pastebin.com/2aDzfbNr
Record some keypresses (visible in the textinput), play-back and see that the text-input will not receive the keys.

This is very problematic, as it prevents automated testing for me.

One issue is that the recorder uses the **kwargs of the on_keyboard event to produce the event log entry. The three variables (scancode etc) are unnamed, so they come in *args.
I fixed that locally but still:

The second issue is that the played-back events (event when I add scancode and modifier) have no effect on the running app.
The only exception seem to be Esc and Enter.

My function in input/recorder.py

def on_keyboard(self, etype, window, key, scancode, codepoint=None, modifier=None):
    if not self.record:
        return
    self.record_fd.write('%r\n' % (
        (time() - self.record_time, etype, 0, {
            'key': key,
            'scancode': scancode,
            'codepoint': codepoint,
            'modifier': modifier,
            'is_touch': False}), ))
    self.counter += 1
