Answer 1

I find workaround with Robot class

here is code:

try {
    Robot robot = new Robot();

    robot.delay(3000);
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_P);      
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_P);
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
    } catch (AWTException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();

    }

Answer 2

For modal windows, I prefer using autoit with selenium, autoit is a very light weight application and can create the script and compile to make an exe file and run the exe file in your selenium,

Formore information see here.

Answer 3

This has been asked several times and is also in some Selenium FAQ.

// assuming driver is a well instantiated WebDriver
WebElement fileInput = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='file']"));
fileInput.sendKeys("C:/path/to/file.jpg");

The idea is to directly send the path to the file to an element which you would usually click at to get the modal window - that is <input type='file' /> element.
