keys
Send a sequence of key strokes to the "active" element. You can make an input element active by just clicking
on it. To use characters like "Left arrow" or "Back space", import the Key object from the WebdriverIO package.
Modifier like Control, Shift, Alt and Command will stay pressed so you need to trigger them again to release
them. Modifiying a click however requires you to use the WebDriver Actions API through the
performActions method.
info
Control keys differ based on the operating system the browser is running on, e.g. MacOS: Command and Windows: Control.
WebdriverIO provides a cross browser modifier control key called Ctrl (see example below).
