Paste for Mac using WebdriverIO - webdriver-io

I am trying to only paste something from my clipboard using webdriverIO. I can do this successfully on a windows pc using Control and v, but it doesn't work on Mac using Command and v. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Looks like this is an issue with Chromedriver.
Found that I can use the alternative past keys for Mac. Sending in Shift, and Insert did the trick.

How to goto Definition using **alt +click**

How do i activate Goto definition function in Microsoft visual studio code using alt + click key combination.
i am using the latest version of vs-code on Linux mint 20.3 cinnamon edge. i was initially able to perform the needed functionality on Manjaro kde plasma (6 months ago) but it seems the new updates have changed a lot of things. I am able to use alt + click in windows but not in Linux mint, it's so frustrating!!
I understand i need to have C/C++ intelliscence extension installed in vs-code. i have tried to install the needed extensions but to no avail. Microsoft says i need to use f12, this works perfectly but i need the old key combination i.e. alt + click. Or if anybody know how to add mouse button to vs-code key mapping?
thanks.

Cannot type in Google colab cells

I just started using Google colaboratory. But I cannot type in the code or text cells. I can copy-paste and delete though. Im accessing via Chrome (latest version for Windows 10).
What have I got wrong?
My suggestion would be rather simple but for me it solved the problem when I was using Chrome in Windows 10.
Terminate the session

Trying to Automate Chrome with Selenium VBA, automation error?

I am trying to data scrape from a website that is only compatible with Google Chrome. I want to scrape the info into an Excel file so I would like to use VBA to accomplish this.
This is my code.
Sub OpenGoogleChrome()
Dim driver As New WebDriver
driver.Start "chrome", "http://www.google.com"
driver.Get "/"
End Sub
I've tried several variations of this code but I get the same error:
I am just simply trying to open chrome through this automation process so I can utilize it to data scrape later.
I am using Chrome v69, the most recent version of Selenium Basic (2.0.9.0) and I've replaced the Selenium Basic ChromeDriver with the latest version (2.42).
These are my VBA references for my code:
Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I'm using Windows 10 and I do have the necessary .Net framework.
SeleniumBasic requires .NET Framework 3.5. I had the same problem once and activating it on Turn Windows features on and off dialog solved the problem. It worth the try
I faced this error as well, but solved it after I install Selenium via administrator mode.

Can't execute ISETool.exe from the command prompt (Windows 8)

I'm trying to use the Isolated Storage Explorer tool from Windows Phone SDK in order to retrieve data stored in specific Windows Phone Apps' IsolatedStorage and copy it to a folder that resides in my computer.
My computer runs Windows 8 Pro, and i have both the WP7 and WP8 SDKs installed.
The problem is that when i run the command prompt and insert a command line (such as the one below) i get an error that states:
"This app can't run on your PC"
How do i solve this? Thanks
Example:
ISETool.exe ts xd f8ce6878-0aeb-497f-bcf4-65be961d4bba c:\data\myfiles
I'd suggest you try using the Windows Phone Power Tools instead of what you are doing there. It will give you a nice UI to work with instead of trying to get a command line tool to work.
If you really want to use that tool then please post which directory you are running it from otherwise it is hard to tell why it won't work.

devcon on windows 7 - remove drivers

I have a problem using devcon.exe in Windows 7 for the purpose of removing drivers, it worked fine in Windows XP. However, I can't remove the drivers using "dp_delete" and "Remove" in Windows 7.
Anyone has an idea why it might happen?
Thanks.
Download the “Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 7.1.0″ from MS, it is an ISO image several hundreds meg
Using UniversalExtractor (http://legroom.net/software/uniextract), extract the ISO to a temporary directory.
Again using UniversalExtractor, extract the install file "WDK\setuptools_x64fre.msi" to a temporary directory.
In that temporary directory you will find "WinDDK\7600.16385.win7_wdk.100208-1538\tools\devcon\amd64\devcon.exe". This devcon works fine under W7x64 Pro.
Along the way UniversalExtractor will prompt you with some warnings, just click OK.

Just an idea for another one that have the same issue and can migrate it: you can use wmic instead devcon. Its work better and it's Query Oriented Language (WMI)
