A Google search of "webdriver ctrl click" turned up this result:

Ctrl+click requires three actions: a send_keys action to press the CTRL key, then a click action, and then another send_keys action to release the CTRL key.

Thanks. What I'm confused about is that send_keys is done with respect to an element (i.e. element.send_keys). What element should I choose here? – Justin Jan 23 '12 at 17:17
The wording of the original question suggests you already have an element in mind. Are you asking how to identify that element to Webdriver? – user246 Jan 24 '12 at 2:11
Well the element to do the click on is determined. But there is no specific element listening to the "Ctrl" event. – Justin Jan 24 '12 at 9:11
The answer may depend upon which event propagation model you use, but I believe you can direct the CTRL key press/release to the body element. – user246 Jan 24 '12 at 15:13

The element is nothing but the variable to find the properties of the object so we are using WebElement to find it

WebElement obj = findElement(By.Xpath("")).click(); 
obj.sendkeys("xxxxx");

If you guys want to click submit button you can use code obi.submit(). This code navigates to the next page. It acts as the button click().
