[FIXED] Python Selenium function keys aren't working (F5 or F12)

Issue

I am trying to get a selenium opened webpage to use function keys, however they don't seem to do anything. Current code is below:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time

url = 'https://www.google.com/'

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
actionChains = ActionChains(driver)

driver.get(url)
time.sleep(5)

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[1]/div[3]/form/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[2]/input').send_keys(Keys.F12)

There isn't an error after running it. It's just that nothing happens. Am I perhaps missing something? I am very confused.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Solution

I think this problem hasn't been solved yet. but there are some suggested solutions to go around this, Check this post: Pressing "F12" key directly through Selenium
