I have been trying to press (CTRL + ALT + 'f') after selecting a WebElement using selenium 3.5 on firefox quantum. This is the code I have written : 

WebElement ele = m_driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".tm-project-name"));
ele.click();
Actions act = new Actions(m_driver);
act.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL).perform();
act.sendKeys(Keys.ALT).perform();
act.sendKeys("f").perform();

For performing this work I also tried this method

act.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, Keys.ALT, "F")).build().perform();

Both of these methods works fine on chrome browser but fails to work in firefox quantum. Can anyone help me out on this issue.

    For what purpose are you trying to pass control+Alt+"f"? – Pradeep hebbar Jan 18 '18 at 13:30
  • Instead of the whole `Actions act ... act.sendKeys("f").perform();` part, try to add after the click: `ele.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, Keys.ALT, "F"));` – GalAbra Jan 18 '18 at 13:34
  • @Pradeephebbar I need to execute this in my application and highlight an element. – Suraj Prakash Jan 18 '18 at 15:18
  • @GalAbra I tried this also but this is not working in firefox quantum. – Suraj Prakash Jan 18 '18 at 15:18
  • What happens with the `Java` **`click()`**? Do you see any error? Update the error stack trace within the Question. Also update the purpose of `press (CTRL + ALT + 'f')`. – undetected Selenium Jan 18 '18 at 15:53
  • @DebanjanB I need to click on a web element that can be done by simply clicking on the locator value but in firefox quantum its not working. Beside that clicking can be done using (CTRL + ALT + 'f') so I am trying to perform that. No error in Java **click()**. It does not stuck at that point and moves to the next line. – Suraj Prakash Jan 19 '18 at 05:00
  • See, Java `click()` is quite proven and powerful. If it fails there would be some reasons. With out proper probe with `click()` and any valid reason it won't be a good idea to shift focus to other `click()`. Add a listener and try to see if you can catch up with whats wrong happening. – undetected Selenium Jan 19 '18 at 07:02

You can try to pass control+Alt+"f" using Robot class , this will work in all browsers.

Try the below code.

Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_F);

Hope this will work for you.

  • Here are the needed imports... for anyone trying : 1) import java.awt.Robot; 2) import java.awt.event.KeyEvent; – AlexD Aug 28 '21 at 00:04

WebElement ele = m_driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".tm-project-name"));
ele.send_keys(Keys.SHIFT+Keys.CONTROL+'f');

I normally write in python, and I checked it in my IDE before I submitted...Python works... thinking this is the C# version
