Use Press Key to send one of the supported keys to the current page. Add Step inserts Escape. Optional Pick on page focuses that element first, then presses the key.
The supported keys are Escape, Tab, Enter, Space, and the four arrow keys. Press Key uses Chrome’s debugger input: Tab can move between fields, Enter can submit a form, and Space or arrows can operate page controls. Page scripts can handle or prevent these actions. There are no modifiers or shortcuts into Chrome’s toolbar.
Chrome displays a debugging notice while attached. The action does not activate tabs, focus windows, or restore minimized windows. If an interaction cannot finish within 10 seconds, or its target cannot be used, the workflow pauses. Resume retries that step and preserves earlier completed steps. If input may already have been delivered, the error explains that retrying could repeat it.
How to add it
Add Step → Press Key. Choose the key. Leave the selector empty to press on the page, or Pick on page for a field. Test key uses the same path.
Limits and related controls
Use Type Text to fill an input or Click Element to operate a page control. To remove an overlay from view without sending a key, use Hide Element.
