I am using Selenium.  
How to select any option of my choice from the context menu, opened via mouse right-click?  
E.g. the ‘Cast’ option?  
Sure, I can use Open Context Menu. But after that, I can’t do much else.  
Suggestions?

Maybe try mix Se for Open Browser and then for chrome context menu automation use pyautogui

import pyautogui

pyautogui.click(x=100, y=200, button=‘right’)  
pyautogui.press([‘down’, ‘down’, ‘down’, ‘down’, ‘down’, ‘enter’])

for other options that have hotkeys assigned use pyautogui.hotkey(‘ctrl’, ‘S’)  
For casting itself there are some methods in webdriver class.

Thank you for the response!  
Looks very promising!

I had been ignoring pure Python solutions until now, as I was hoping there was some easy, non-coder solution via Robot keywords/modules.

I guess coding is the way to go in this case 🙂

Quite a few robot libraries utilize pyautogui under the hood.

Were you refering maybe to [GitHub - GDATASoftwareAG/robotframework-flaui: Windows user interface automation library for Robot-Framework. FlaUILibrary is a wrapper for the FlaUI automation library.](https://github.com/GDATASoftwareAG/robotframework-flaui), or you had other one in mind? Would be good to know for future projects.
