ElementHandle.press() method
Focuses the element, and then uses Keyboard.down() and Keyboard.up().
Signature:
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 |
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.
