My code is:

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
# Imports Selenium and common keys, like enter
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# Opens chrome

# maximize window
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
# go to webpage google.com

driver.find_element_by_name("btnK").send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

Hi, @There,

A possibility is that the element is currently unclickable because it is not visible. Reasons for this may be that another element is covering it up or it is not in view, i.e. it is outside the currently viewable area.
