I'm trying to write a keyDown and keyUp for webdriver, similar to selenium. I know how to use Actions, but dint find a way to write a generic(working for special and normal keys) keyDown function.
Something like selenium which accepts keycode as well keys. Any ideas?
If you are trying to, for example, to select all from a input field and Delete, you can do something like this:
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys("a").keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys(Keys.DELETE).perform();
Look at the JavaDoc for KeyUpAction and KeyDownAction in org.openqa.selenium.interactions:
Moved to GitHub:
See also:
KeyDown and KeyUp -- Used to press a key and then un press the key. Like below we can use this scenario;
Actions ac = Actions(driverObj);
ac.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).click(we).keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).build().perform();
Here we are using press CONTROL key and then click() and then unpress the CONTROL key.
