  • You should make some investigation and try to do it yourself. If you fail, provide your code and we'll try to help you. At least show `HTML` for target select box and programming language you use – Andersson Oct 18 '16 at 07:44

Here is a really simple example:

import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
String multiSelect = Keys.chord(Keys.SHIFT, Keys.DOWN);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//xpath")).sendKeys(multiSelect);

You can do it of course in other combinations, too.

Using the Robot class in Java you can perform like shown below

Robot robot=new Robot();

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT); 
//This will press shift key on keyboard.

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); 
//This will press the down key on your numpad.

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
//This will release the down key on your numpad.

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
//This will release the shift key.

  • Actually, `selenium` has `Action Chains` module (http://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/api.html#module-selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains for `Python`) that allow to perform clicking multiple buttons simultaneously – Andersson Oct 18 '16 at 08:40
