Selenium:how to delete single characters from a textbox

Question

Using Selenium how to delete single characters from a textbox using Selenium?

I have to delete the last 2 characters from text box.

Ex.ABCD to AB

Answer 1

If you are using Java, try this to delete one character:

element.sendKeys("\u0008");

Answer 2

While using the ASCII valid (\u008) is valid, there are already defines for this which makes your code more readable, as such:

element.sendKeys(Keys.BACK_SPACE);

For a list of the key names, there's some official documentation.
