title: How do you send special keys in Selenium Library/Robot Framework?
body: <p>I am trying to send <code>F12</code> using in Robot Framework, probably by using Selenium Library's <code>send special key</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I found this page that lists keycodes for common uncommon keys <a href="https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/py/webdriver/selenium.webdriver.common.keys.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/py/webdriver/selenium.webdriver.common.keys.html</a> where <code>F12</code> is listed as \ue03c.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried all combinations I could imagine of backslashes and quotations but none of them work. How do I send F12 in Robot Framework?</p>
  
  <p>Furthermore, in the next step I need to send F16 but it is not listed in the linked page - how do I send that?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I don't need to send the key to a specific element or so, I just want to trigger a menu option using its keyboard shortcut.</p>
  
  <p>Edit 2: I am limited to Selenium Library 3.1.</p>
