# ElementHandle.press() method
|
|
|
|
Focuses the element, and then uses [Keyboard.down()](./puppeteer.keyboard.down.md) and [Keyboard.up()](./puppeteer.keyboard.up.md).
|
|
|
|
#### Signature:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
class ElementHandle {
|
|
press(key: KeyInput, options?: Readonly<KeyPressOptions>): 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 | Readonly<[KeyPressOptions](./puppeteer.keypressoptions.md)> | _(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.
