how do I use keyboard shortcuts in nodriver?

[lol157]

I literally have no ideas, I've tried js scripts and embedded CDP objects (dispatch_key_event). Does anyone have any ideas? I need to use the shift+enter keyboard shortcut for the textarea

this is my code now, and it doesn't work as it should, it just enters 'enter', not 'shift+enter'

import nodriver as uc
import asyncio



async def main():
    browser = await uc.start()
    page = await browser.get('site.com')
    await page.maximize()
    await browser.cookies.load(
        file=r'cookie.dat')
    await page.sleep(1)
    await page.reload()

    textarea = await page.find('//*[@id="__next"]/main/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/fieldset/div/div/textarea')
    await textarea.send_keys('lol')
    await page.sleep(5)

    await page.evaluate("""document.querySelector('div[class="w-[90%] flex flex-col"] textarea').focus();""")
    await page.send(uc.cdp.input_.dispatch_key_event(type_='keyDown', key='Shift', code='ShiftLeft', windows_virtual_key_code=16))
    await page.send(uc.cdp.input_.dispatch_key_event(type_='keyDown', key='Enter', code='Enter', windows_virtual_key_code=13))
    await page.send(uc.cdp.input_.dispatch_key_event(type_='keyUp', key='Enter', code='Enter', windows_virtual_key_code=13))
    await page.send(uc.cdp.input_.dispatch_key_event(type_='keyUp', key='Shift', code='ShiftLeft', windows_virtual_key_code=16))

    await page.sleep(3)
    await textarea.send_keys('lol')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    uc.loop().run_until_complete(main())

Thanks for any help

I think you should try using modifiers in the dispatch_key_event method. From the docs:

modifiers (Optional[int]) – (Optional) Bit field representing pressed modifier keys. Alt=1, Ctrl=2, Meta/Command=4, Shift=8 (default: 0).

So, to use shift+enter you can try something like:

await page.send(uc.cdp.input_.dispatch_key_event(
    type_="rawKeyDown",
    modifiers=8, # here 8 = shift
    key="Enter",
    code="Enter",
    windows_virtual_key_code=13,
))

await page.send(uc.cdp.input_.dispatch_key_event(
    type_="keyUp",
    modifiers=8,
    key="Enter",
    code="Enter",
    windows_virtual_key_code=13,
))
