i want to simulate the pressing of the enter key using py-appscript
i already found this, but it seems to only output the newline
Translate Applescrip [key code 125 using command down] to appscript
right now i want to press the enter key after the value has been set.
Example, after entering the IP hit enter key.
or send a keycode to the field itself.
app('System Events').key_code(76). (Or key_code(36) or keystroke('\r') if you meant ↩ instead of ⌤.)
keystroke and key_code don't ignore keys actually held down by the user, so you might need to add a delay if you're using a shortcut with modifier keys used to run the script.

Guys I am using Spyder ide, but when I go to modify a certain thing in any line it selects the letter and starts typing above it and deletes the already written code rather than spacing and typing, any solution?
I would try to hit the Insert key on your keyboard first and see if it toggles between the Insert mode and the Overtype mode:
overtype mode, in which the cursor, when typing, overwrites any text that is present in the current location; and
insert mode, where the cursor inserts a character at its current position, forcing all characters past it one position further.
The insert/overtype mode toggling is not global for the computer or
even for a single application but rather local to the text input
window in which the Insert key was pressed.
The code:
input("Type your input here:)
displays as:
Type your input here:
I want to automatically populate the input window with text that can be cleared by pressing backspace so the display looks like:
Type your input here: DEFAULT
and after pressing backspace 3 times the user would see:
Type your input here: DEFA
Other posts have indicated that this isn't something you can do in, say, bash, but is there a way to do this in Python?
Simple answer: No. It's just not something you can do in a console app. What's commonly done is to display the default you'll get if you press return:
Type your input here [DEFAULT]:
I am attempting to let the user input "I agree" in the textbox I have created. However, I want any key entered to be a specific key I have set. An example is "I agree". If I hit any key besides backspace or enter, it will type out I, if I hit another it will do the space, you get the idea.
I am trying to set-up a condition where the script checks whether a web element is present or not. If present, actions.send_keys(Keys.ESCAPE).
if len(str(driver.find_element_by_class_name("blnewform_wrapper"))) >0:
actions.send_keys(Keys.ESCAPE)
print("I sent escape")
else:
print("Didn't find the form")
print(count)
I get an output:
I sent escape
But the form is still in the forefront. When I click escape on the page it exits. So I am just wondering how exactly to check whether the ESCAPE key is being sent or not.
You have not performed the actions, replace:
actions.send_keys(Keys.ESCAPE)
with:
actions.send_keys(Keys.ESCAPE).perform()
As far as making sure it was sent - send_keys() would throw an error if an element you are sending keys to is not interactable (usually that means not visible or disabled). You may also recheck the visibility of the form after sending the keys.
How can I send a up arrow key with Python module pexpect? I have tried this:
child.send("\033[A")
but it will not work..
Use two sends. First to send the code for the shift key, and another to send a lower case a.
It may work if you send them together as well.
You can try:
child.send('\x1b[A')
