Short overview
Calling keyboard.pressKey(nut.Key.NumPad1) doesn't work on Linux. It doesn't seem to work for any numpad key.
Issue occurs on
Detailed error description
If you run the following code in Node.js 12.22.7 on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon 20.3,
const nut = require("@nut-tree/nut-js");
nut.keyboard.pressKey(nut.Key.NumPad1);
the result of the last line will be rejected with this error:
Error: Invalid key code specified.
at /wherever/node_modules/@nut-tree/nut-js/dist/lib/provider/native/libnut-keyboard.class.js:22:28
Steps to reproduce error
- Install Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3
- Install Node.js 12.22.7.
- Create a file named
test.js with the following content:
const nut = require("@nut-tree/nut-js");
nut.keyboard.pressKey(nut.Key.NumPad1);
- Open a terminal emulator and use
cd to navigate to the folder where said script (test.js) resides.
- Type in
node ./test.js
Expected behavior:
Numpad 1 gets pressed (virtually), so a "1" is typed into the terminal.
Actual behavior:
The key is not pressed, no "1" is typed into the terminal, and the following error is printed:
Error: Invalid key code specified.

Additional content
Please provide any (mandatory) additional data to reproduce the error (Dockerfiles etc.)
I am using a US keyboard layout, and my keyboard has a numpad. I also have a mouse attached that presents itself as both a mouse and a keyboard (because it has some macro keys on the side).
I am using Xorg, not wayland.
I have two monitors attached to my computer, and the primary monitor is on the right of the secondary monitor.
