What is the Difference Between Type Keys and Type Commands?

TypeKeys() will trigger JavaScript event in most of the cases whereas .type() won’t.

In Selenium, there is no specific method called “type commands.” However, there is a method called send_keys() that is commonly used to simulate keyboard input. On the other hand, there is no direct method called “type keys” either.

If you are referring to the send_keys() method, here is the explanation:

  • send_keys(): This method is used to simulate keyboard input on a web element. It can be used to enter text into input fields, interact with dropdowns, and perform various keyboard actions. You pass the desired input as an argument to this method.

For example, in Python with Selenium:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
element = driver.find_element_by_id(“username”)
element.send_keys(“example_username”)

If there’s a specific context or library you are referring to with “type commands,” please provide more details for a more accurate response.
