login_Gmail = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="identifierId"]').send_keys('SEU EMAIL GMAIL')
print('e-mail ok')
time.sleep(2)
keyboard.press('Enter')

Answer 1

I did some tests and I was able to comment as follows:

First, for the comment field to appear, you need to scroll down the page a little. So I used:

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, 350)")

where 350 is the Y value to scroll down (in my case, from 0 to 1080, by the resolution of the monitor)

Then, for the comment to be enabled, you need to click on the element first. For this, I used:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="placeholder-area"]').click()

The final code went like this:

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, 350)")
time.sleep(3)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="placeholder-area"]').click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="contenteditable-root"]').send_keys('Teste')
