Description

I try to show FindString dialog by sending (emulating) Ctrl-F keys pressed to WebView2. When WebView2 has focus I call CallDevToolsProtocolMethod(L"Input.dispatchKeyEvent", L"{"type":"keyDown", "modifiers":2,"unmodifiedText":"F"}", ...), but nothing happens on screen and no errors raising. What I am doing wrong?
