Performs a keyboard key press without the release. This will put that
    key in a held down state.

    NOTE: For some reason, this does not seem to cause key repeats like would
    happen if a keyboard key was held down on a text field.

    Args:
      key (str): The key to be pressed down. The valid names are listed in
      KEYBOARD_KEYS.

    Returns:
      None
