How can I send keyboard commands via Mathematica to a given URL?

Unfortunately, you can't send keyboard commands because Mathematica is only able to fetch the raw contents of the page. Would you be able to post a link to the website? It's possible there's some backend XMLHttpRequest API that's fetching data every time you hit Alt+Shift+P.

And don't worry, it's not off-topic at all!

@Jessie Friedman -- Thanks for your reply; sorry to take so long to get back to you. Here is the link to the web page which exhibits the behaviour I described. In the page source you can find the references to the key commands:

<input type="submit" name="__Previous" value=" < " id="__Previous" disabled="disabled" class="ButtonClassNavigation" style="cursor:default;" />  <input type="submit" name="__Next" value=" > " id="__Next" accesskey="n" title="Alt+n" class="ButtonClassNavigation" />  <input type="submit" name="__Last" value=">>" id="__Last" accesskey="l" title="Alt+l" class="ButtonClassNavigation" /></form> Again thanks for your response!

No problem about the delay. It looks like you didn't post the right text, though.

Right! Here is the url to the webpage in question: https://re11.ultipro.com/KIM1000/JobBoard/ListJobs.aspx?__VT=ExtCan

We can append the URL parameter __RecordsPerPage to the URL to get all the jobs on one page: https://re11.ultipro.com/KIM1000/JobBoard/ListJobs.aspx?__VT=ExtCan&__RecordsPerPage=1000

And here we can make a Dataset of all the jobs:

maxrecords = 1000;
pagedata = 
  Import["https://re11.ultipro.com/KIM1000/JobBoard/ListJobs.aspx?__VT=ExtCan&__RecordsPerPage=" <>
    ToString[maxrecords], "Data"][[1, 2]];
jobs = Dataset[AssociationThread[pagedata[[1]], #] & /@ pagedata[[2 ;;]]]

The Dataset output of the above code

If a given page has more than 1000 records, just change maxrecords to something like 10000.
