C# and Selenium; Possible to press Windows key?

Question

I would like to move my browser window to the left or right side of the screen. Manually I would press[WINDOW] + [LeftArrow] (or [RightArrow]) to achieve this.

I've read this one but it's for Java (see comments) but I can't find a way to press the windows key when using C#.

My best option seems to be:

driver.Manage().Window.Position = new Point(x-coord, y-coord);
driver.Manage().Window.Size = new Size(myWidth,myHeight); 

but seems to be a bit fiddly, and I'm sure there is a better way.

I have also tried:

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.SendKeys(Keys.   )

Then Keys doesn't have the windows key...

Answer 1

If you'd like to go for they SendKeys approach, sending key combinations that include the Windows logo key is not straightforward. The equivalent for the Windows logo key alone would be Strg + Esc . While that can be simulated, Strg + Esc + Left would just open the start menu (or whatever they call it now in Windows 10), and then send another left arrow.

But here there is a solution.

dllatikay 's answer is very helpful for understanding how things work. I will just add a working example - how to maximize browser window when using Selenium:

 // Install-Package InputSimulator in package manager
 var inputSim = new InputSimulator();
 // WinKey + Up maximizes current focused window
 inputSim.Keyboard.ModifiedKeyStroke(VirtualKeyCode.LWIN, VirtualKeyCode.UP);
