The Send Keystrokes action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., tab;5) and sends the specified function key (tab) to the browser the given number of times (5). If the number is not provided, the key is sent once by default. The result of the operation is stored in the {SendKey} variable, with the following possible values:
True – If the keystroke is sent successfully in the browser.
False – If sending the keystroke fails or an error occurs.
