Summary of sendKeys() and moveTo() Issues
Bunch of stuff broken? Don't fear..the Actions API is on it's way and it will probably be a good thing! Chin up!
OVERVIEW:
The purpose of this document is to explain the new actions API and what it has to do with certain commands
such as moveto and keys being depricated in webdriverio (due to them being deprecated in certain browser drivers).
MAIN ISSUE:
1. The issue is that these new drivers suppress these commands on purpose because they are deprecated,
but the drivers have not yet implemented the new WC3 standard called "actions API".
"The user-facing API for emulating complex user gestures. Use this class rather than using the Keyboard or Mouse directly."
