Best Practices

<Check>

Wait after shortcuts

Some keyboard shortcuts trigger animations or navigation:

  await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 't']); // New tab
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 500)); // Wait for tab
  await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 'l']); // Focus URL bar

</Check>

<Check>

Use Tab for form navigation

Tab is more reliable than clicking multiple fields:

  const firstField = await testdriver.find('email input');
  await firstField.click();
  await testdriver.type('[email protected]');
  
  await testdriver.pressKeys(['tab']);
  await testdriver.type('password123');
  
  await testdriver.pressKeys(['tab']);
  await testdriver.pressKeys(['enter']); // Submit

</Check>

Platform-specific keys

Use the appropriate modifier key for the platform:

Windows/Linux: 'ctrl'
macOS: 'command'

  // For cross-platform, you might need to detect OS
  const modKey = process.platform === 'darwin' ? 'command' : 'ctrl';
  await testdriver.pressKeys([modKey, 'c']); // Copy

</Warning>

Use Cases

    // Fill form using Tab
    const firstField = await testdriver.find('name field');
    await firstField.click();
    await testdriver.type('John Doe');
    
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['tab']);
    await testdriver.type('[email protected]');
    
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['tab']);
    await testdriver.type('555-0123');
    
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['tab']);
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['enter']); // Submit

</Accordion>

    const textArea = await testdriver.find('comment textarea');
    await textArea.click();
    
    // Select all existing text
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 'a']);
    
    // Copy it
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 'c']);
    
    // Type new text
    await testdriver.type('New comment');
    
    // Undo if needed
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 'z']);

</Accordion>

    // Open new tab
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 't']);
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 500));
    
    // Focus address bar
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 'l']);
    await testdriver.type('https://example.com');
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['enter']);
    
    // Refresh page
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['f5']);
    
    // Close tab
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 'w']);

</Accordion>

    // Save document
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 's']);
    
    // Print
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 'p']);
    
    // Find in page
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 'f']);
    await testdriver.type('search term');
    await testdriver.pressKeys(['escape']); // Close find

</Accordion>
