Send keys not to element but in general selenium
You are using WebDriver to interact with the actual elements on the page. It will not work.
Try using the Actions
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChainsfrom selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keysactions = ActionChains(driver)actions.send_keys(Keys.LEFT_CONTROL + 't')actions.perform()
See the documentation:http://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/api.html?highlight=send_keys#module-selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains
