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.
