How to overcome virtual keyboard with uc properties?

def click_shift(sb):
"""
Clicks the Shift key on the virtual keyboard.
"""
try:
shift_key_xpath = "//div[contains(@Class, 'cdk-overlay-container')]//button[contains(@Class, 'mat-keyboard-key-shift')]"
sb.wait_for_element_clickable(shift_key_xpath, by=By.XPATH, timeout=5)
sb.driver.click(shift_key_xpath, by=By.XPATH)
sb.sleep(0.2)
print("Clicked on Shift key.")
except TimeoutException:
print("Timeout: Shift key not found or not clickable.")
except NoSuchElementException:
print("No such element: Shift key not found.")
except ElementClickInterceptedException:
print("Click intercepted: Could not click Shift key.")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Unexpected error clicking Shift key: {e}")

If you're seeing ElementClickInterceptedException, then use js_click(css_selector).
You might also be able to use PyAutoGUI for interaction.

thanks a lot it even works faster than sb.click
I have 1 more question....
//sb.driver.type("input[formcontrolname='username']", "[email protected]") # Update with your email
sb.driver.uc_click("input[formcontrolname='username']")
sb.driver.uc_gui_write("[email protected]")

Instead of using sb.type to mitigate the risk of bot detection, I tried using uc_click and uc_gui_write respectively; however, it didnt work

If there's real-time bot-scanning involved, see examples/raw_antibot_login.py.
(It uses the uc_gui PyAutoGUI methods for actions.)

Thanks a lot, you are a life saver
What are the differences between driver and base_case methods? (eg: driver.click vs self.click)

[mdmintz]

They're similar, but the BaseCase methods are more extensive, with more integrations (Eg: Highlighting actions in Demo Mode)
