How to deliver a click with modifier keys via Selenium's WebDriver?

Question

I've got this line of code:

final WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.tagName("button"));

Now, how to I click on that button with the meta key held down?

Answer 1

As per Madd0g, java code would look like this:

  Actions shiftClick = new Actions(driver);
  shiftClick.keyDown(Keys.SHIFT).click(element).keyUp(Keys.SHIFT).perform();

Answer 2

hmm.. I'm not exactly sure about java, but in C# this is done with the ActionBuilder --

new Actions(Browser).KeyDown(Keys.Shift).Click(element).KeyUp(Keys.Shift).Perform();
