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.

Syntax

i = driver.find_element_by_name("txt") i.send_keys("Selenium") i.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

Let us try to send keyboard input to a textbox on a page −

Example

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys #set chromodriver.exe path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe") driver.implicitly_wait(0.5) #launch URL driver.get("https://www.google.com/") #identify text box l = driver.find_element_by_class_name("gLFyf") #send input l.send_keys("Selenium") #send keyboard input l.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
