Type command

Enters text into a field on the device screen. The device should be in text-entry-mode: either the virtual keyboard is open or the cursor is waiting for text. Most platforms support Unicode and allow text in any language.

On most devices, the text is sent directly to the operating system, disregarding the keyboard.

Tip: For best performance, it is recommended to use a minimal amount of keyboard languages.
