Test Runner keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts come in handy especially when we do not want to perform manual actions on the browser that involve a series of steps. In this section, we will learn how to use three keyboard shortcuts to control the Cypress Test Runner and to run our tests effectively.
