How to clear text field value that already contains data in Sikuli?

Question

I am working on a desktop application and, I am using Sikuli. I am trying to clear text value that already contains some text.

Answer 1

Generally, you have to simulate with Sikuli, what you are doing manually (sikuli does not have any features to talk with an application directly or access GUI elements like Selenium).

something like:

click("the-GUI-text-field.png")

type("a", KeyModifier.CTRL) # select all text

type(Key.BACKSPACE) # delete selection

normally does the job.
