        d1.navigate().to("https://www.youtube.com/");
        Thread.sleep(3000);
        Robot rb = new Robot();
        rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
        rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
        rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
        rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB); 

        // Perform [Ctrl+A] Operation - it works
        rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
        rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_A);
        //It needs to release key after pressing
        rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_A);
        rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
        Thread.sleep(3000);
    }
