## Keyboard.press() method
Shortcut for [Keyboard.down()](./puppeteer.keyboard.down.md) and [Keyboard.up()](./puppeteer.keyboard.up.md).
<b>Signature:</b>
```typescript
press(key: KeyInput, options?: {
delay?: number;
text?: string;
}): Promise<void>;
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| key | [KeyInput](./puppeteer.keyinput.md) | Name of key to press, such as <code>ArrowLeft</code>. See [KeyInput](./puppeteer.keyinput.md) for a list of all key names. |
| options | { delay?: number; text?: string; } | 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 <code>keydown</code> and <code>keyup</code> in milliseconds. Defaults to 0. |
<b>Returns:</b>
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.
