Hello Team,

I am able to type in text using the below robot keyword.  
input text //\*[@id=“textInput”] Hello

Now I need to press Enter key after this. For this I am trying with different keywords such as  
Press Keycode 13  
or  
Tap //\*[@id=“textInput”]

but none of them is working.

Can anyone help how to fix this please.

Hi Sayom,

You didn’t say but from this i’m guessing your using the SeleniumLibrary?

> [@sayom88](#):
>
> input text //\*[@id=“textInput”] Hello

If my guess is correct why not just use [Press Keys](https://robotframework.org/SeleniumLibrary/SeleniumLibrary.html#Press%20Keys)?

```python
Press Keys	//*[@id=“textInput”]	RETURN # Pressing "ENTER" key to element.

```

Dave.

Hi @sayom88,

From the AppiumLibrary, it looks like all you should need to do for pressing the enter key is:

```python
Press Keycode KEYCODE_ENTER

```

I’ve never used these libraries before so i’m afraid I can’t give much more help than reading the documentation.

Dave.
