Fix the error in the code to hold Shift, type 'a', then release Shift.

Selenium Python

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Sending uppercase 'A' which results in 'AA' because Shift is held.

Sending key constants instead of characters.

When holding Shift, sending lowercase 'a' will produce uppercase 'A'. So the key sent should be lowercase 'a'.

Fill both blanks to press Control+C to copy text.

Selenium Python

actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.[1](Keys.CONTROL).send_keys([2]).key_up(Keys.CONTROL).perform()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using uppercase 'C' which may not work as expected.

Using key_up instead of key_down to press Control.

Use key_down to press Control, send lowercase 'c' to copy, then release Control with key_up.

hard

Fill all three blanks to press Control+Shift+S to save as.

Selenium Python

actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.[1](Keys.CONTROL).[2](Keys.SHIFT).send_keys([3]).key_up(Keys.SHIFT).key_up(Keys.CONTROL).perform()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using key_up to press keys down.

Sending uppercase 'S' which duplicates Shift effect.

Press Control and Shift down with key_down, send lowercase 's', then release Shift and Control.
