Hi, i am currently trying to test keyboard shortcuts for a website. The shortcut should bei CONTROL + ‘<’. Somehow the Sendkeys Command:
WebUI.sendKeys(testObject, Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, ‘<’))
does not execute the shortcut. (Before executing i have clicked the testObject.)
Does anybody know why the shortcut is working when i do it manually and not when Katalon does the SendKeys?
Thank you for your help

Instead of clicking on your TestObject, how about just putting focus on it and then let the shortcut do its thing:

WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject('...'), 10)
WebUI.verifyElementClickable(findTestObject('...'))

WebUI.focus(findTestObject('...'))
WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('...'), Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, '<'))
