Global Send keys on HTML objects

It would be useful to be able to send key presses to HTML spied objects.  Many browser apps use key press events as validation to enable buttons which  need to be clicked subsequently.  Using a write stage does not register a key press on the page.

You can send key events to IE window. I was using that some time ago to choose value from dropdown list and then activating another object.

Hello.  I am not sure I understand?  I think HTML elements have Get Bounds and Get Screen Bounds actions available in a read stage like all the other interfaces so global click events and then global send keys can be sent directly to your browser elements.  If in doubt maybe revisit the Surface Automation training - you can certainly do what you are asking.

I would expect, like when using AA spying that I can place an Element into a Navigation stage and choose Send keys as per that method.
