Squish tip of the week: How to execute keyboard and mouse combination commands

How can I perform a keyboard + mouse combination in a test script?

The mouseClick function accepts a modifierState and a button. The modifier state accepts a set of keyboard commands.
Take for example performing a Control + Shift + Right Click

Given a Java Swing application, Shift is 1 and Control is 2
Which results in mouseClick(“:myObject”, 5, 5, 1|2, Button.Button3), where the Shift + Control keys are pressed, followed by Button3, or a right click.
