Thanks again for your further replies. So far, it's 4 votes for 'send_keys' and 1 vote for 'type'.Regarding 'send_keys': To me personally it makes sense to send keys _to_ something. However, in our API, send_keys would not be called on an object or with a parameter indicating the target. It would just be send_keys(ENTER) send_keys("Hello World!") send_keys(CTRL + 'a') Does that change your preference for 'send_keys'?
Calling it "send_keys" does have precedent. There's a module called SendKeys which uses the SendKeys system call in Windows. Unfortunately, the last version was for Python 2.6. When I wanted the functionality for Python 3.3 I had to write my own. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
