Hello Akesh,

Normally we enforce C# syntax rules. For example, you can write the mentioned sentence as follows: "Hello my name is "Akesh"" The one caveat with allowing keystrokes through the square brackets format, is that the [ ] characters cannot be used as strings. Our development team has been made aware of this, and will implement a solution.

Hi Akesh,

You can send Advanced keystrokes to a website's text field using the Element Action command. To do so, select "Set Text" as the action and include the action in the following format: "[PageUp]" You can also include text and action in the same field: "Hello[enter]"
