Hi all,
I have a web application from that application I need to copy and paste few files in a folder. I should use hotkeys only. How can I go with that approach.

Please help me thanks in advance

Hi @hanviprebday, try something along these lines:

  1. Open the Web Application:
  • Use UiPath to open the web application using a web browser automation activity, such as “Open Browser.”
  1. Navigate to the Page:
  • Use the appropriate activities to navigate to the specific web page where you want to initiate the file copy operation.
  1. Select Files:
  • Use hotkeys to select the files you want to copy. The specific hotkeys might vary depending on your web application and browser, but typically it involves selecting the files with a combination of keyboard keys, such as Shift + Arrow keys or Ctrl + Mouse Click.
  1. Copy Files:
  • Use hotkeys to copy the selected files. The common hotkey for copying is Ctrl + C.
  1. Navigate to the Folder:
  • Navigate to the folder where you want to paste the files using the web application’s file explorer or file selection dialog.
  1. Paste Files:
  • Use hotkeys to paste the files. The common hotkey for pasting is Ctrl + V.
  1. Confirm or Execute:
  • Depending on your web application’s behavior, you might need to trigger the paste operation by hitting the Enter key or using another hotkey, depending on how the application handles file operations.
  1. Close the Web Application:
  • Once the file copying and pasting are complete, you can close the web application using UiPath.

Cheers! :slight_smile:
