## ElementHandle.press() method
Focuses the element, and then uses [Keyboard.down()](./puppeteer.keyboard.down.md) and [Keyboard.up()](./puppeteer.keyboard.up.md).
<b>Signature:</b>
```typescript
press(key: KeyInput, options?: PressOptions): 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 | [PressOptions](./puppeteer.pressoptions.md) | |
<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 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.
