PressKeys
This action sends one or more keystrokes to the active window (as if typed on the keyboard).
Input Parameters:
Parameter Name | Parameter Description | Mandatory | Data Type |
---|
strKey | Enter the key which you want to |
press from the |
key board. | Yes | String |
Example:
Suppose the user want You can use PressKeys action to open the Find dialog on the Browser window under test. Manually this is done by pressing the keys Control and F simultaneously. This opens the Find dialog on the browser window. The same thing can be done using the action PressKey .The data to be passed to the keyword in this case will be given as browser, which is done manually using Ctrl + F. While using the PressKeys action, the data to be passed is ~^F where ^ means Control. ( See the list below for the keys and their meaning).
The action returns 0, if the key is pressed successfully , otherwise, else it will return 1 in any other case.
Note: If a PressKeys action does not execute on an Inactive Screen, refer to PressKeys Action does not Execute on an Inactive Screen.
Important Note:
Ideally the The data to be passed here is only ^F, however as . However ^ has a special meaning in Qualitia QAS, it has to must be preceded with an escape sequence ~. Hence the data passed will be is written as ~^F.
Make sure to prefix an escape sequence which is a caret tilda for the following characters which has a special meaning in Qualitia. These The characters are {,}, ^.For example, if you want to press the , ~
Example:
If key to be sent is {F1}
, enter data as ~{F1~}.
To send {TAB}, enter data as ~{TAB~}.
To send {ENTER}, enter data as ~{ENTER~}.
Use the PressKeys action to send keystrokes to applications that have no automation interface. Most keyboard characters are represented by a single keystroke. Some keyboard characters are made up of combinations of keystrokes (CTRL+SHIFT+HOME, for example). To send a single keyboard character, send the character itself as the string argument. For example, if you want to send the letter x, send the string argument "x".
You can use PressKey PressKeys to send more than one keystroke at a time. To do this, create a compound string argument that represents a sequence of keystrokes by appending each keystroke in the sequence to the one before it. For example, to send the keystrokes a, b, and c, you would send the string argument need to send as "abc". The PressKey PressKeys method uses some characters as modifiers of characters (instead of using their face-values). This set of special characters consists of parentheses, brackets, braces, and the:
- plus sign "+",
- caret "^", (use with an escape character [~])
- percent sign "%",
- and tilde "~"
Send Enter these characters by enclosing them within braces "{}". For example, to send enter the plus sign, send enter the string argument "{+}". Brackets "[ ]" have no special meaning when used with PressKeyPressKeys, but you must enclose them within braces to accommodate applications that do give them a special meaning (for dynamic data exchange (DDE)).
- To send bracket characters, send enter the string argument "{[}" for the left bracket and "{]}" for the right one.
- To send brace characters, send enter the string argument "
}" for the left brace and "{
" for the right one. - To send a key combination that includes Ctrl key such as Ctrl + N send "~^n"
Some keystrokes do not generate characters (such as ENTER and TAB). Some keystrokes represent actions (such as BACKSPACE and BREAK). To send these kinds of keystrokes, send enter the associated arguments as shown in the following table:
Key | Argument |
---|---|
BACKSPACE | ~{ |
BACKSPACE~}, ~{ |
BS~}, or ~{ |
BKSP~} | |
BREAK | ~{ |

To send keyboard characters that are comprised of a regular keystroke in combination with a SHIFT, CTRL, or ALT, create a compound string argument that represents the keystroke combination. You can do this it by preceding the regular keystroke with one or more of the following special characters:
Key |
---|
- SHIFT: +
- CTRL: ^
- ALT: %
Arguments | |
---|---|
Shift | ~+ |
Ctrl | ~^ |
Alt | ~% |
When used this way, these special characters are not enclosed within a set of braces.
To specify that a combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down while several other keys are pressed, create a compound string argument with the modified keystrokes enclosed in parentheses. For example, to send the keystroke combination that specifies that the SHIFT key is held down while:
- e and c are pressed, send enter the string argument "+(ec)".
- e is pressed, followed by a lone c (with no SHIFT), send enter the string argument "+ec".
You can use the PressKey method PressKeys action to send a pattern of keystrokes that consists of a single keystroke pressed several times in a row. To do this, create a compound string argument that specifies the keystroke you want to repeat, followed by the number of times you want it repeated. You To do this using , use a compound string argument of the form {keystroke number}. For example, to send the letter "x" ten times, you would send the string argument "~{x 1010~}" . Be sure to include where you need to ensure that you enter a space between keystroke and number.
