Hi!
I dont use python, but have you checked:

In trying to dismiss the soft keyboard after a `.clear()` without resetting the … session's keyboard setting (i.e. `hide_keyboard` is a no go), I thought I'd be clever and use `TouchAction` like this to tap just outside of the element that had displayed the soft keyboard:
```
def dismiss_keyboard(element):
elem_x = element.location['x']
elem_y = element.location['y']
# Find average x-value between left edge of app and left edge of element
benign_x = (elem_x - 0) / 2
# Tap between element and edge of app to dismiss soft keyboard
action = TouchAction(self.driver)
action.move_to(
benign_x, elem_y).press(
x=benign_x, y=elem_y).release().perform()
```
But, of course, not clever, because both press() and tap() require an element:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):

opts['element'] = element.id
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'id'
```
TouchAction already supports supplying None for the element (and other arguments).
E.g.: action.press(el=None, x=None, y=None)

Thanks a lot, your link helped me
but the right one example:
so you have to use array of coordinates, even if there is just one coordinate.
