Browser.sendKeys Key.enter element session

-- Type text then press Enter:
Browser.sendKeys ("hello" ++ Key.enter) element session

Modifier Keys

The modifier keys (shift, control, alt, meta) behave differently from all other keys. They are "sticky" — when sent, they stay held down and apply to all subsequent characters until released by sending null.

-- Type "HELlo" (shift held for first 3 chars, then released):
Browser.sendKeys (Key.shift ++ "hel" ++ Key.null ++ "lo") element session

All other keys (like enter, backspace, tab, etc.) fire as a normal key press and release. They do not stay held down.
