About The Video
Watch this video to discover how to use the Robot class in Selenium to minimize your browser
The Robot class is used to simulate keyboard events in Selenium, allowing us to automate tasks like minimizing all open web applications on a browser by simulating the action of pressing the "Windows key + D" combination. This is useful when the built-in Selenium methods do not provide direct options for such operations.

Key Topics Covered
Purpose of the Robot Class:
The Robot class in Selenium allows automation of keyboard and mouse actions, including simulating keyboard shortcuts. This is useful when built-in Selenium methods don’t provide options for specific actions, such as minimizing all windows.
Minimizing Applications with Robot Class:
The video demonstrates how to programmatically minimize all open applications using the Robot class by simulating the "Windows Key + D" shortcut.
In the code, the developer creates a new Robot instance, adds exception handling, and simulates pressing and releasing the Windows key and the "D" key.
Code Walkthrough:
A method is defined that utilizes the Robot class to automate the minimize function.
Steps include initializing the Robot instance, simulating the "Windows + D" keypress, and then releasing both keys to complete the action.
The test run shows the browser being minimized and the title being displayed, confirming the action's success.
Alternative Minimization Techniques:
Besides the Robot class, the video mentions using built-in Selenium features like minimizeWindow() and adjusting window position to achieve similar results in other contexts.
