Hi, it appears to me that sendKeys isn't working properly on Mac. I have ran the same code on Windows and its able to send the keys just fine.

When I try to send keys on Mac I get the following error: org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: Could not find selector (post_actions:data:) for path '/session/CI8a86aw/actions'.

The error happened when macOS could not find the element by https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/nsobject/1571960-methodsignatureforselector

Should I need an element if I'm just sending keys to the desktop? If so that seems a bit funny to me. I'm not trying to enter text into an element, I just want to be able to send off keystrokes to help automate things. For example sending arrow keys to navigate around an app etc.

I noticed maybe you meant W3C actions' send keys.

For macOS has a command for session/:session_id/keys which is send keys to active element in MJSONWP spec https://github.com/appium/appium-for-mac/blob/6763cbffb0fd07369b58868fe6e9e92b23ebb100/AppiumForMac/Server/Handlers/AfMHandlers.m#L695-L704

This root cause is this repository does not support /actions for send keys to the active elements command as W3C yet. Java client sends the /actions as the command instead of session/:session_id/keys. session/:session_id/keys is MJSONWP.

As a workaround in Java client, you can try forceMjsonwp as https://github.com/appium/java-client/issues/969#issuecomment-436124152 . Then, Java client works as MJSONWP.
