New issue 5919 by c...@realvnc.com: Can't send Control+key to Chrome when
using Mac OSX
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=5919

Selenium version: v33.0
OS: Mac OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
Browser: Chrome
Browser version: 28.0.1500.71

The browser never receives the keys when I send control (or command) and
another key. I am using the Java bindings. Here is some sample code:

import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.datatransfer.Clipboard;
import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class ExamplePasteFailure {

@Test
public void testPaste()
{
WebDriver chrome = new ChromeDriver();
chrome.get("http://www.google.com");
WebElement element = chrome.findElement(By.name("q"));

Clipboard clipboard =
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
StringSelection clipboardtext = new StringSelection("Hello world");
clipboard.setContents(clipboardtext, null);

element.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,"v"));
element.sendKeys("abc");

Thread.sleep(1000);


chrome.close();
}

}

I can guarantee that "Hello world" is placed in the computer's clipboard!
This bug doesn't exist on Ubuntu 12.04 and I think it might be related to
issue .

if you are just lloking for a way around this you could try something like
this , it should simulate a user right clicking and selecting paste

final WebElement e = driver.findElement( By.name( "q" ) );
new Actions( driver ).contextClick( e ).sendKeys( "p" ).perform();

Control+V doesn't paste on OSX. Use Keys.chord(Keys.COMMAND, "v")

I have the same issue. Neither command-t or command-a seems to work, but
they do when I use the firefox driver.

element.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.COMMAND, "v"));
