# Press Key Block

Simulate the keystroke or it's combo on the page.

* **Target element**\
  The element in which you want to simulate the keystroke.
* **Key**\
  The key or a combination that you want to simulate.

Please note:

This block only emulates pushing the key on the website. This means it can't activate browser shortcuts, such as opening or closing a new tab, or system shortcuts, such as copy-paste.

Please note:

This block cannot function without an active tab. For this reason, use the Active Tab block or the New Tab block before using this one.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.goless.com/blocks/web-interaction/press-key-block.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
