Do you need to have it HOLD the down key for a time?

 

If that's the case, there is a "HOLD" keyword in the "Keys" method that will allow you to hold a set of keys down until you release.

So, Keys('[Hold][Down]a[ReleaseLast]') will hold the down arrow and then tap the a key and then relase the down arrow.

 

Will this work for you?

No, this does not work for me either. The effect is the same as .Keys('[Down]')

 

self.stage_search.Keys('[Hold][Down][ReleaseLast]')

 

the letter a trick didn't work either.

self.stage_search.Keys('[Hold][Down]a[ReleaseLast]')
