How can I handle multiple keyboard keys using Selenium Webdriver?

We can handle multiple keyboard keys in Selenium webdriver by using the method Keys.chord. The multiple keyboard keys to be handled are passed as parameters to this method.

The return type of the Keys.chord method is a string and can be applied to an element with the help of the sendKeys method. For example, in order to perform a select operation on text entered inside an edit box we require the keys ctrl+a to be pressed simultaneously.

Syntax

String k = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, "A");
driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys(k);

Example

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
public class MultipleKeys{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
         "C:\\Users\\ghs6kor\\Desktop\\Java\\chromedriver.exe");
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
      //implicit wait
      driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
      //URL launch
      driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
      //identify element
      WebElement l = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
      l.sendKeys("Java");
      // method Keys.chord
      String k = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, "A");
      //handling multiple keys
      l.sendKeys(k);
   }
}
