press(selector, key[, options])

warning

Use locator-based locator.press() instead.

Focuses the element, and then uses keyboard.down(key) and keyboard.up(key).

A superset of the key values can be found here.

Following modification shortcuts are also supported: Shift, Control, Alt, Meta, ShiftLeft.

Holding down Shift will type the text that corresponds to the key in the upper case.

If key is a single character, it is case-sensitive, so the values a and A will generate different respective texts.

Shortcuts such as key: "Control+o" or key: "Control+Shift+T" are supported as well. When specified with the modifier, modifier is pressed and being held while the subsequent key is being pressed.

  const page = browser.newPage();
