[FIXED] I need to Open a new tab and Paste a URL to the Url line at the browser, using Python+Selenium. Doesn't work with Keys for some reason

Issue

So I have a Copy Link button at the system I'm testing, and that works. means if I paste it manually (ctrl+v) to the browser's url line , it's ok. But when I try using Keys nothing happens.

I need to OPEN a new tab, NAVIGATE to it, DELETE the about:blank (from the browser's url line), PASTE the URL, (that's already been copied), and press ENTER

Here is the code: 1)I open a new tab 2)I navigate to the tab

the first 2 actions work well. the rest don't seem to work for some reason (from this line: action.key_down(Keys.CONTROL).send_keys('a').perform() )

Code:

self.driver.execute_script('''window.open("","");''')
action = ActionChains(self.driver)
profile_window = self.driver.window_handles[1]
self.driver.switch_to.window(profile_window)

action.key_down(Keys.CONTROL).send_keys('a').perform()
action.send_keys(Keys.DELETE).perform()
action.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL).send_keys('v').perform()
action.key_up(Keys.CONTROL).perform()
action.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

Solution

Update 1 :

driver.get("https://www.google.com")
driver.execute_script("window.open('about:blank','_blank');")
all_handles = driver.window_handles
driver.switch_to.window(all_handles[1])

driver.get("https://www.amazon.com")

Update 2 :

You can use pyperclip to paste as well. see below

import pyperclip
action = ActionChains(driver)
action.send_keys(pyperclip.paste()).perform()
