Unable to perform "ctrl+click" about webdriver.dart HOT 4 CLOSED

If you do the following it should get the desired behavior:

// modifier keys are supposed to be sticky across multiple calls when using keyboard.sendKeys:
// https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol#sessionsessionidkeys
await driver.keyboard.sendKeys(Keyboard.control);
// element.click() might work, but I am not sure that it is guaranteed to keep the keyboard state as it
// part of the "do as I mean" API not the "do as I say" API.
await driver.mouse.click(element);
// a second call to the same modifier key releases it:
// https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol#sessionsessionidelementidvalue
await driver.keyboard.sendKeys(Keyboard.control);

If this doesn't work, it indicates a bug in the remote end, not a bug in webdriver.dart.

As for the /actions endpoint, no remote ends implement yet (although marionette/geckodriver will hopefully do so soon). When it is available in some endpoint, we will see about implementing it here.

sendChord doesn't help, as we should hold ctrl and click by mouse, sendChord, as I can understand, sending only "ctrl+a" key codes and not holding key modificators.

I would also really appreciate this functionality. Looks like we need to add support for 17.5 Perform Actions, which is a bit more clearly described in https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/Advanced-User-Interactions.

And here's a python Action Chains API, for comparison. EDIT: Looking at the underlying code, I don't think the python ActionChains are actually using the Actions API.

It seems even the java code doesn't use the /actions endpoint, so I guess we're all just waiting for the spec to finalize a bit more before fully implementing?

Thanks for the code, that works (in Chrome) with a tweak (driver.mouse.click() doesn't take an element, it takes an optional mouse button). I tested with SauceLabs in Chrome on Windows and Mac and it worked great. Firefox and IE11 on Windows both don't support the moveTo command, so dice there, unfortunately.
