Send keys without specifying element in python selenium webdriver

python python-2.7 python-3.x selenium selenium-webdriver

solved it

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChainsactions = ActionChains(self.driver)actions.send_keys('dummydata')actions.perform()

python python-2.7 python-3.x selenium selenium-webdriver

If you get error about 'self' in this code:

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChainsactions = ActionChains(self.driver)actions.send_keys('dummydata')actions.perform()

just use:

actions = ActionChains(driver)

Edit: Added this enhancement as a comment on the original answer.

This worked for me:

driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body').send_keys(' ')

(Which I used to use a space character to scroll through a page)
