Remarks
If key is a single character and no modifier keys besides Shift are being held down, a keypress/input event will also be generated. The text option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
**NOTE** Modifier keys DO affect elementHandle.press. Holding down Shift will type the text in upper case.
