Press Key dosen't work

[luislu]

I want to use keyword "Press Key" to simulate pressing "enter" function, but it dosen't work

*** Settings ***
Library Selenium2Library

*** Test Cases ***
T1
Open Browser http://baidu.com chrome
Input Text id=kw test
Sleep 5s
Press Key id=kw \13

The documentation for Press Key shows using a backslash for the key
argument. In order to send the backslash correctly, you must escape the
backslash with another backslash due to RF's syntax (see
http://robotframework.googlecode.com/hg/doc/userguide/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html?r=2.7.7#escaping
).
I think this has tripped up just about everyone, including me.

Your suite file should look like this:

*** Settings ***
Library           Selenium2Library

*** Test Cases ***
T1
    Open Browser    http://baidu.com    chrome
    Input Text    id=kw    test
    Sleep    5s
    Press Key    id=kw    \\13

This test performed the search for me.

Thanks for your replying.
I just follow the press key introduction in keyword document.

Thanks to poster who created this. Saved me a lot of time and hassle. Can't believe it's still open though. :-(
