Send keys not to element but in general selenium

Question

Issue:

I want to send_keys(Keys.LEFT_CONTROL + \'t\') Now to do this I locate any element on the page

elem = self.browser.find_element_b         


        

Answer 1

You are using WebDriver to interact with the actual elements on the page. It will not work.

Try using the Actions

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.send_keys(Keys.LEFT_CONTROL + 't')
actions.perform()

See the documentation: http://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/api.html?highlight=send_keys#module-selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains
