i'm using selenium IDE for automation testing, i tried to use keypress on selenium, but because my site blocking any click and can only use keyboard for operating, i cant use sendkeys() to run it with selenium IDE because the empty target, is that possible to use sendkey without target? or is that another way to press key without target?

thanks for helping.

In regular Selenium you can sendKeys without a target web element with Actions.
As I see here this can also be done with Selenium IDE.
There are more additional documentations and tutorials about this.

Yes you could use ActionChains in regular Selenium, as mentioned in the previous answer. This definitely will work. But I am needed to use Selenium IDE.

A work around might be executing some JavaScript with the execute script command in Selenium IDE to trigger the key press that you need. That might work. I have found some code snippets online for that, but haven't yet worked it out. Actually I'm surprised that there's not a simpler solution.
