changed the title
locator.pressSequentially
Implements locator.pressSequentially() to type text character by character, simulating real keyboard input. This is useful for testing features like autocomplete, input validation, and character counters that require gradual typing. Co-authored-by: Inanc Gumus <[email protected]>
This method is no different than locator.Type, which was deprecated by Playwright.

This PR continues from #5241. I've refactored the code to fix some remaining issues.
From the original PR (written by @rajan2345):
What?
Implements
locator.pressSequentially()to type text character by character, simulating real keyboard input. This is useful for testing features like autocomplete, input validation, and character counters that require gradual typing.Why?
This feature enables k6 users to test scenarios that require real keyboard events for each character, which
locator.fill()doesn't provide. It's particularly useful when migrating from Playwright to k6, as this is a commonly used Playwright API that k6 currently lacks.Checklist
