# Keyboard.press() method
Shortcut for [Keyboard.down()](./puppeteer.keyboard.down.md) and [Keyboard.up()](./puppeteer.keyboard.up.md).

abstract press(
key: KeyInput,
options?: Readonly<KeyPressOptions>
): Promise<void>;
}
```

<tbody><tr><td>
key
</td><td>
[KeyInput](./puppeteer.keyinput.md)
</td><td>
Name of key to press, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [KeyInput](./puppeteer.keyinput.md) for a list of all key names.
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
options
</td><td>
Readonly&lt;[KeyPressOptions](./puppeteer.keypressoptions.md)&gt;
</td><td>
_(Optional)_ An object of options. Accepts text which, if specified, generates an input event with this text. Accepts delay which, if specified, is the time to wait between `keydown` and `keyup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0. Accepts commands which, if specified, is the commands of keyboard shortcuts, see [Chromium Source Code](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/blink/renderer/core/editing/commands/editor_command_names.h) for valid command names.
</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
**Returns:**
Promise&lt;void&gt;
## Remarks
If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
Modifier keys DO effect [Keyboard.press()](./puppeteer.keyboard.press.md). Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.
