Using pyautogui, how can I get Python to press Ctrl + F to find a word on a webpage? Prefer not to use Selenium or manually hit Ctrl+F

Question

I've tried:

pyautogui.hold(["ctrl"]) pyautogui.press("f")

Sure, Selenium might work, but I like using Vivaldi as my browser, and I want to figure out how to accomplish Ctrl+F with the current setup.

Answer 1

You should use the 'hotkey' function instead. It should look something like this:

pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'f')

Answer 2

You can use Keyboard Control Functions documentation for that, using pyautogui functions.

In order to find something in the browser using the keys CTRL + F you can use the following commands:

import pyautogui

# You can define what you want to search
find = 'google'

# Use keys below
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'f')

# Write what you want
pyautogui.write(find, interval=0.05)
