Method Details

basic

@Deprecated
public org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Keyboard basic()
                                        

Deprecated.

Use KeyboardActions.keyDown(Keys) and KeyboardActions.keyUp(Keys) and KeyboardActions.sendKeys(CharSequence...) instead

Basic keyboard operations

Returns:

low level interface to control the keyboard

keyDown

public KeyboardElementActions keyDown
                                            
                                            (org.openqa.selenium.Keys theKey)

Performs a modifier key press after focusing on an element. Equivalent to: Actions.click(element).sendKeys(theKey);

Parameters:

theKey - Either Keys.SHIFT, Keys.ALT or Keys.CONTROL. If the provided key is none of those, IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Returns:

this object reference to chain calls

See Also:

• keyDown(org.openqa.selenium.Keys)
• Actions.keyDown(WebElement, CharSequence)

keyUp

public KeyboardElementActions keyUp
                                            
                                            (org.openqa.selenium.Keys theKey)

Performs a modifier key release after focusing on an element. Equivalent to: Actions.click(element).sendKeys(theKey);

Parameters:

theKey - Either Keys.SHIFT, Keys.ALT or Keys.CONTROL.

Returns:

this object reference to chain calls

See Also:

• Actions.keyUp(WebElement, CharSequence)

sendKeys

public KeyboardElementActions sendKeys
                                            
                                            (CharSequence... keysToSend)
                                        

Sends keys to the active element. This differs from calling WebElement.sendKeys(CharSequence...) on the active element in two ways:

• The modifier keys included in this call are not released.
• There is no attempt to re-focus the element - so sendKeys(Keys.TAB) for switching elements should work.

Parameters:

keysToSend - The keys.

Returns:

this object reference to chain calls

• Actions.sendKeys(WebElement, CharSequence...)
