Hi,
I've noticed there's some differences between the .send_keys method in Watir
and Watir-WebDriver.
1) .send_keys only works at the *browser* level in watir, whereas it works
at the browser and *element* level in watir-webdriver
2) .send_keys requires special strings in watir (eg. "{ENTER}") whereas
send_keys uses chains of symbols (and arrays of symbols) in watir-webdriver
(eg b.element.send_keys [:control, 'a'], :backspace): full list here:
http://watirwebdriver.com/sending-special-keys/
I think the watir-webdriver API is better in this regard, so, what do people
think about incorporating the element level send_keys, and the use of
symbols into Watir?
I imagine we'd need to leave the special string support for backwards
compatibility.
Cheers,
