Send keyboard command in webdriver

[ElPandaRojo1]

Hello, I would like to know how I can send a keyboard command in webdriver, for example I need to send the SHITF + ENTER key combination, either to an element or to the browser, I appreciate if you can help me

The _WD_Action function can be used to send keystrokes to the browser. You can find examples on the forum using the search feature. Here's a link to one example --

Yes but, I don't understand how I can send two keys at the same time

 

$sAction = '{"actions":[{"type": "key", "id": "keyboard_1", "actions": [{"type": "keyDown", "value": "\uE00F"}, {"type": "keyUp", "value": "\uE00F"}]}]}'
_WD_Action($sSession, "actions", $sAction)

Or so would it work?

saying that the Key_Down the SHIFT and in the Key_Up the ENTER

$sAction = '{"actions":[{"type": "key", "id": "keyboard_1", "actions": [{"type": "keyDown", "value": "\uE008"}, {"type": "keyUp", "value": "\uE007"}]}]}'
_WD_Action($sSession, "actions", $sAction)

If you think about it, you never send twice simultaneous keys. When you press Shift+Enter, you are actually sending two keyDown events (one for Shift, the other for Enter) followed by two keyUp events. Suggest that you try to do the same using Actions.

I have another question I have a text,

 

Line texto 1

Line texto 2

Line texto 3

Line texto 4

 

I would like to send this text with these line breaks but when I use _WD_ElementAction ($ sSession, $ sElement, "value", "Text") it sends me the line breaks as an ENTER, I would like to know how I can make it just send me the jump of line and to be able to send this text in a single paragraph, and not separated.

This isn't something I've tried, but have you considered replacing the CR/LF combination with only a LF before using it with _WD_ElementAction?

If that doesn't work, then I would recommend that you post a short script that we can run to observe the issue.

The sending of keys does not work for me, try like this

$sAction = '{"actions":[{"type": "key", "id": "keyboard_1", "actions": [{"type": "keyDown", "value": "\uE008"}, {"type": "keyDown", "value": "\uE007"},{"type": "keyUp", "value": "\uE008"},{"type": "keyUp", "value": "\uE007"}]}]}'
$_WD_Action = _WD_Action($sSession, "actions", $sAction)

and also like this

$sAction = '{"actions": [{"type": "key","id": "keyboard","actions": [{"type": "keyDown", "value": "\uE008"},{"type": "keyDown", "value": "\uE007"},{"type": "keyUp", "value": "\uE008"},{"type": "keyUp", "value": "\uE007"}]}]}'
$_WD_Action = _WD_Action($sSession, "actions", $sAction)

but none worked for me

"Does not work" isn't an adequate description for us to diagnose the issue. Does the code execute without any errors?

Do this please is you want me to look further into this for you.

I already found the way to send the key combination, thank you very much for your help, I could not send an example code, since I did not find a page similar to the one I am testing, since the page is from work. I send the form that I found that is part of how you explained to me.

 

_ChromeXPathComandByXPath($sSession, "SearchXpath", "value", "\uE008\uE007")

Func _ChromeXPathComandByXPath($sSession, $XPath, $Value, $Option = "")
 $sButton = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $XPath)
 $cResult = _WD_ElementAction($sSession,$sButton, $Value , $Option)
 Return $cResult
EndFunc

 

So I send a SHIFT + ENTER that gives me a line break where it does not accept the jump with just the enter.
