How to send keyboard input to a textbox on a webpage using Python Selenium webdriver?
We can send keyboard input to a textbox on a webpage in Selenium webdriver in Python using the method send_keys. The text to be entered is passed as a parameter to that method.
To perform keyboard actions, we can also use the send_keys method and then pass the class Keys.<key to be pressed> as a parameter to that method. To use the Keys class, we have to add from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys statement to the code.
