 When using special character sequences, it's possible to activate modifier keys and type key combinations, such as `CTRL + R` or `SHIFT + ALT + Q`. The modifier(s) remain activated for the duration of the `.type()` command, and are released when all subsequent characters are typed, unless {% url '`{release: false}`' type#Options %} is passed as an {% url 'option' type#Key-Combinations %}.
