Selenium Webdriver: Pressing some key after determinate character appears when writing

I am using Selenium webdriver to write text using the following code

def typing(self, text):
    time.sleep(1)
    for character in text:
        actions = ActionChains(self.driver)
        actions.send_keys(character)
        actions.perform()

Basically what it does is that it inputs some text and writes it, but I have to add a special characteristic: When characters "@" or "&" are present it has to count the next words until it finds a space " ", and just before it, press enter key.

In this case I configured a function press_enter() so this part will be easy.

Some examples:

@eat_pizza(press enter here) every day

I think &guacamole(press enter here) is good for health

&my_wife_Charlotte(press enter here) is so nice @fantastic(press enter here) and amazing

You can try below code

new_text = []
text = 'I think &guacamole is good for health'.split(' ')
# text is ['I', 'think', '&guacamole', 'is', 'good', 'for', 'health']
for word in text:
    if word.startswith('@') or word.startswith('&'):
        word += u' \ue007'
    new_text.append(word)

# new_text is ['I', 'think', u'&guacamole \ue007', 'is', 'good', 'for', 'health']
new_text = ' '.join(new_text)
# new_text is u'I think &guacamole \ue007 is good for health'

Your method will now look like this

def typing(self, text):
    time.sleep(1)
    actions = ActionChains(self.driver)
    actions.send_keys(text)
    actions.perform()

You can send the whole text at the time and each time on u' \ue007' (the same as Keys.ENTER) Enter should be triggered

UPDATE

new_text = []
text = 'I think &guacamole is good for health'.split(' ')
# text is ['I', 'think', '&guacamole', 'is', 'good', 'for', 'health']
for word in text:
    new_text.append(word)
    if word.startswith('@') or word.startswith('&'):
        new_text.append(press_enter)

def typing(self, text):
    time.sleep(1)
    actions = ActionChains(self.driver)
    for word in new_text:
        if not isinstance(word, str):
            word()
        else:
            actions.send_keys(text)
            actions.perform()
