ElementHandle.press() method

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

Signature:

class ElementHandle {
  press(key: KeyInput, options?: PressOptions): Promise<void>;
}

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
key	KeyInput	Name of key to press, such as ArrowLeft. See KeyInput for a list of all key names.
options	PressOptions	(Optional)

Returns:

Promise<void>

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.
