Use send_keys():

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

element.send_keys(Keys.COMMAND, Keys.SHIFT, 'H')

Also see: The Keys implementation.

I am trying to press "Home" button in iOS Simulator. It says wd.send_keys(Keys.COMMAND, Keys.SHIFT, 'H') AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'send_keys'

@KirillZhukov you should first find an element to execute a send_keys(). send_keys() is a method of a WebDriver element.

@KirillZhukov wd is a WebDriver instance, not element.

So, how can I get the first element, aka main window?

@KirillZhukov could you give me the url so I can test?
