Allow modifier for click-Method on NodeElement

[steinerj]

Hi,

the keyUp/Down/Press methods allow for a modifier, such as CTRL, SHIFT, ALT. These modifiers would make sense on the click-method as well. Think of multiple selection using shift or similar scenarios.
I know it's supported by sahi, so the MinkSahi driver could use it. In fact, we're currently using evaluateJavaScript('_click("element","SHIFT")') as a workaround.

Would you agree this would make sense?

does Selenium support a similar feature ?

Not with the same convenience as Sahi. On Selenium you'd have to do a KeyDown - Click - KeyUp. Thinking about it, this would work in Sahi as well. We've just had some bad cross-browser experiences with the whole keyDown/Press/Up mess, so we'd rather try to stay clear of these approaches...

 builder.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL)
       .click(someElement)
       .click(someOtherElement)
       .keyUp(Keys.CONTROL);
