[FIXED] Exception: Key Down / Up events only make sense for modifier keys

Issue

I am working with Java Selenium, testing using the Firefox driver.

I want to send Ctrl + - to my Firefox browser.

This is my code:

    Common.myPrint(thisClass + " *** zoomOut ***");
    Actions actionObject = new Actions(driver);
    try {
        actionObject.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL).keyUp(Keys.SUBTRACT).perform();

        // reset this counter - basis for request counter

        global.variables.dataTotalCount = 0;

        return true;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        int errorCode = 1525182195;
        System.err.println(thisClass + " error code: " + errorCode + " Exception: " + e.getMessage());
        return false;
    }

i am receiving this error message: Exception: Key Down / Up events only make sense for modifier keys.

That is all very well, but how can I send Ctrl & - (to reduce font size)

Solution

Try chord method

String selectkeys= Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, Keys.SUBTRACT);
