  "how": {
    "incantation": "When testing input behavior that responds to individual keystrokes, use `locator.pressSequentially()` to type characters and fire keyboard events. Set `delay` in milliseconds to test handlers that depend on time between keystrokes.",
    "examples": [
      "import { browser } from 'k6/browser';\n\nexport const options = {\n  scenarios: {\n    browser: {\n      executor: 'shared-iterations',\n      options: { browser: { type: 'chromium' } },\n    },\n  },\n};\n\nexport default async function () {\n  const page = await browser.newPage();\n  try {\n    await page.goto('<URL>');\n    await page.locator('<input selector>').pressSequentially('<text>', { delay: 100 });\n  } finally {\n    await page.close();\n  }\n}"
    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: v1.5.0",
      "text (required): String to type into the focused element character by character.",
      "options.delay: Milliseconds to wait between key presses; defaults to 0.",
      "options.noWaitAfter: If true, do not wait for navigation caused by the action to complete; defaults to false.",
      "options.timeout: Maximum time in milliseconds; defaults to 30000, or the BrowserContext/Page default timeout. Use 0 to disable.",
      "A configurable delay between keystrokes is supported.",
      "Docs conflict: The latest documentation shows k6 v2.3.x, newer than the card's v1.5.0; version-specific differences were not established."
    ]
  },
  "why_it_matters": "Test a browser input that reacts to each keystroke, such as autocomplete or per-character validation.",
  "before": "Use `locator.type()` for gradual typing without keyboard events, or `locator.fill()` for simple form filling.",
