On a high level, does anyone know how to enter the Immersive Reader mode on Microsoft Edge when it is available for a given webpage through Selenium?
My aim is to load up a page, enter Immersive Reader, and save the page's source code to disk. I'm firing up Edge through Docker and I'm pragmatically connecting to it via a Node.js script.
I've tried driver.actions().sendKeys(KEY.F9), but that doesn't work since I'm targeting the browser and not a DOM element.
Many thanks for all your help.
Just run
driver.get('read://' + url)
and the site is loaded in immersive reader mode if available.
To interact with the UI you have to use pyautogui (pip install pyautogui
) and then run this code while the browser window is on focus/active:
import pyautogui
pyautogui.press('F9')
It is also useful for example to save a pdf by interacting with the popup window appearing when pressing CTRL+S.
