Cypress has introduced a new feature, cy.press(), which allows users to trigger real native keyboard events in tests, starting with support for the Tab key. This enhancement addresses the limitations of the previously used cy.type(), which could not accurately replicate non-character key actions like the Tab key, crucial for accessibility testing and smooth keyboard navigation. The new command dispatches native keydown, press, and keyup events directly to the browser, enabling the Tab key to move focus to the next focusable element as it would in a real user interaction. Currently supported in Chromium browsers and Firefox v135+, cy.press() is still pending WebKit support. Feedback from users is encouraged to expand its functionality to other keys, and the feature is available in Cypress version 14.3.0.
