type_text
Idempotent
Set text in any input, textarea, or contenteditable via selector or ref. Fires native input/change events so React/Vue register changes, with optional per-character mode for autocomplete.
Instructions
Put text into an input, textarea or contenteditable, by CSS selector or by a ref from get_interactives. Replaces the whole value rather than appending, and assigns through the native setter so React and Vue controlled inputs register the change, then fires input and change. mode=keys instead emits keydown/input/keyup per character, which is what autocomplete and masked fields need — slower, so reach for it only when mode=set leaves the field empty or the dropdown never opens.

TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ref | No | From get_interactives, e.g. "n3" | |
| mode | No | set = assign value; keys = per-char events (autocomplete/masked) | set |
| text | Yes | Value to type; empty string clears the field | |
| tab_id | No | Target tab; omitted = last tab navigated in this session, else the active one | |
| frame_id | No | Target iframe id from get_frames; omitted = main frame | |
| selector | No | CSS selector; ">>>" pierces shadow DOM. Ignored when ref is given | |
| wait_after | No | Settle before returning: navigation waits for a page load, networkidle for quiet traffic | none |
