Press Key
Simulate keyboard key presses on webpage elements. Use this action to trigger keyboard shortcuts, submit forms, navigate menus, and simulate user input.
Inputs
☐ Prompt / Description (Required)
A clear and concise instruction describing what this step should do. This helps the AI debug and re-trigger the key press if needed.
Good Example: "Press the 'Enter' key to submit the login form."
Bad Example: "Press whatever key makes sense to continue."
Why it’s bad? Too vague, lacks specificity about the key and its intended action.
☐ Target Element (Optional)
Define the element that should receive the key press using one of the following methods:
CSS Selector
Use standard CSS selectors to identify the element.
XPath
Use an XPath expression to precisely locate the element.
☐ Key Action (Required)
Press
Simulate a single key press
Hold
Hold a key down for a duration
Release
Release a previously held key
☐ Key Selection (Required)
Choose the key to simulate:
- Special keys:
Enter,Esc,Tab,ArrowUp, etc. - Character keys:
a,b,1,2, etc. - Modifier keys:
Shift,Ctrl,Alt, etc.
☐ Press Duration (Optional)
Specify how long to hold the key (in milliseconds)
- Default:
0(instant press) - Longer durations simulate held keys
Usage Example
Notes
- The Prompt / Description is required to help AI debug and adjust the key press if needed.
- If no target element is specified, the key press will be sent to the active element.
- Some keyboard shortcuts may require multiple keys or specific timing—adjust the configuration accordingly.
