Simulate a Enter event #30

How do i simulate a Enter event, like pressing enter after sending keys in a textarea?

Funny you're asking this now, we just discussed this last week with the team.

It turns out that putting \r in your sendKeys() string will send an Enter key press.

jprrabanal commented 6 years ago

about the sendKeys() are keys send as a whole? I mean just like copying and pasting to a textfield

Behind the scenes it's calling the DevTools dispatchKeyEvent (https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Input#method-dispatchKeyEvent) which is, I think, sending real key presses. Not 100% sure though.
