Of course you don’t have to use the new Chrome/Edge functions – you can still use UI methods and use SetFocus, SendText and/or Image Recognition to locate page elements. That is, under a Linux GUI, is there a good manual (programmable) way, or tool, of simulating keyboard input on a running program on Linux, so that I can send from the command-line, e.g. Executing DOS apps and sending keystrokes to the app when running 2. Issuing a Page Down on the div element did the trick: ChromeSetElementValue>session_id,div_elements_1, AFAIK keystrokes (whether invoked from any sort of Send-Keys (SendKeys in WinAPI) method, always go to the active window. I would much appreciate guidance of how to make this program register sent keystrokes, or at least an insight into why this isnt working. Note that when sending keystrokes only one can be sent at a time.Recently someone needed to scroll down inside a div, in order to force the page to fetch more data. However, I have come across an issue, as this application recently seems to have stopped responding to AHK send commands (eg. Send keystrokes to a specific window using PowerShell. To do this, use the key codes for Edge and Chrome listed here.įor example: ChromeSetElementValue>session_id,message_elements_1,First lineĬhromeSetElementValue>session_id,message_elements_1,ĬhromeSetElementValue>session_id,message_elements_1,Second line AFAIK keystrokes (whether invoked from any sort of Send-Keys (SendKeys in WinAPI) method, always go to the active window. It may not be immediately obvious that as well as setting the value of elements with ChromeSetElementValue and EdgeSetElementValue you can also send non-character keystrokes, such as Enter, or Page Down. I have a working prototype which works great on my local machine except when sending keystrokes to an active form within the Windows RDC application. These keystrokes 3440 wont let you do any. I am attempting to build an onscreen numeric keypad using VB.net and MS Visual Studios.
