In a chat window ( watsapp, facebook etc. ) message can be sent by pressing "Enter", How can we achieve that in splinter. I tried submitting the form using browser.execute_script() but its reloading the full page instead.

Also tried browser.get_by_id("id_name").type("something \r") but didn't work.

After experimenting everything finally this code worked for me:

from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser()
script = 'var event = jQuery.Event("keydown"); event.which = 13; event.keyCode = 13; $("#element_id").trigger(event);'
browser.execute_script(script)

I found that some people are using jQuery.Event("keypress") but it didn't worked for me.
