   The documentation for Press Key shows using a backslash for the key
   argument. In order to send the backslash correctly, you must escape the
   backslash with another backslash due to RF's syntax (see
   http://robotframework.googlecode.com/hg/doc/userguide/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html?r=2.7.7#escaping
   ).
   I think this has tripped up just about everyone, including me.

   Your suite file should look like this:

   *** Settings ***
   Library           Selenium2Library
   
   *** Test Cases ***
   T1
       Open Browser    http://baidu.com    chrome
       Input Text    id=kw    test
       Sleep    5s
       Press Key    id=kw    \\13
   

   This test performed the search for me.

   Thanks to poster who created this. Saved me a lot of time and hassle. Can't believe it's still open though. :-(
