Common Keyboard Operations Using Actions Class

Common Keyboard Operations Using Actions Class

In Selenium WebDriver, the Actions class can be used to perform various keyboard operations. The Actions class provides methods to interact with keyboard keys, allowing you to perform complex actions such as key press and release, sending keys to elements, and combining multiple key actions.

·  Key Down: Press and hold a key.

·  Key Up: Release a key.

·  Send Keys: Send a sequence of keys to an element.

·  Combining Key Actions: Combine multiple key actions such as Ctrl+C (copy), Ctrl+V (paste), etc.

Dropdown Basics Using Actions class :

Note:

To develop dropdown  --> Select , Option --> Select class, 3 methods

div, ul , li tags -->  to develop dropdown , we cannot use select class to select the value in dropdown

                       

Handling Multi Select dropdown using Actions class?

 

HW Select 'Maruthi'  and audi'  cars in Multi Select dropdown ?

note:  Press control +  click 'Maruthi'  and Click 'Audi'?

ans:

           

 

// HW  Select all values in Multi Select dropdown?

note:  click on some value in multiselect dropdown  and press ctrl + A

ans:
