We can open a new tab with Selenium. The Keys.chord and sendKeys methods are used for this. Multiple keys can be passed simultaneously with the Keys.chord method. A group of strings or keys can be passed as parameters to that method.
The Keys.CONTROL and Keys.ENTER are passed as parameters to the Keys.chord method here. This is stored as a string value and finally passed as a parameter to the sendKeys method.
String nwtb = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,Keys.ENTER); driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[text()='Company']")).sendKeys(nwtb);
Code Implementation.
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; public class OpnLinkNwTab{ public static void main(String[] args) { System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\ghs6kor\\Desktop\\Java\\chromedriver.exe"); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); // wait of 4 seconds driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS); driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/about/about_careers.htm"); // Keys.Chord string String nwtb = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,Keys.ENTER); // open the link in new tab, Keys.Chord string passed to sendKeys driver.findElement( By.xpath("//*[text()='Company']")).sendKeys(nwtb); } }
