Question

How can I handle multiple keyboard keys using Selenium Webdriver?

Answer 1

Hey Jasmine, there are a few ways to handle multiple keyboard keys in Selenium Webdriver:

1. Using Actions Class:

   • Actions action = new Actions(driver);
     action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys("a").keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).perform();

2. Using SendKeys Chord:

   • driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body")).sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, "a"));

3. Using Robot Class:

   • // Create Robot class
     Robot rb = new Robot();
     
     // Press control keyboard key
     rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
     
     // Press A keyboard key
     rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_A);

For further understanding, you can refer to the Selenium Training.
