Key Chord Support

[trottly]

🚀 Feature Proposal

Selenium IDE for Chrome is missing key chord support. It would be great to have a command like KEY CHORD where target can be entered like KEY_CONTROL X Y Z with space-delimited keys.

Motivation

Not having key chord support makes it difficult to simulate a user holding down multiple keys at the same time (keyboard shortcuts). This is important for certain web apps where a key chord would be better for navigation than mouse clicks.

Example

For example: When using Zendesk within the browser, it's not really possible to use mouse events to close tickets because you can never be certain how many ticket tabs are open; and each ticket tab uses what appears to be a randomly generated element class for its tab X button. It's also difficult to get mouse clicks to activate the dropdown menu without using hover events (because the menu doesn't exist until the web app creates it during hover event). However, having the ability to emulate key chords with an IDE command would allow the use of keyboard shortcuts for web apps; these are sometimes a lot faster and less messy than mouse events.
