Usage

Example

GetApplicationInfo

driver.executeScript("seetest:client.sendKeysWithBT", "" + Keys.CONTROL+ Keys.ALT + "I");
driver.executeScript("seetest:client.sendKeysWithBT", "" + Keys.ESC);

In case of using a programming language other than Java where the "Keys" class is not available, we can mimic the same behavior by sending the equivalent Unicode characters. Here's an example in WebDriverIO:

browser.execute("seetest:client.sendKeysWithBT", "\uE014");

In above example, we are sending the "Right Arrow" command. A full list of available Keys operations in Unicode can be found here.
