type

type(objectOrName, text)

This function types the specified text (as if the user had used the keyboard) into the objectOrName editable widget. If the text is surrounded by angle brackets (<>), it is interpreted as a key combination, e.g "<Ctrl+Return>". The input is case-sensitive, so type(object, "R") is different from type(object, "r"). (For a list of the supported special keys see the nativeType(keys) function's documentation.)

Unlike nativeType(keys), type() treats Ctrl and Command as the same key on all platforms. This means that you can write type("<Ctrl+c>") in a test script and it will result in Ctrl+r on Linux and Windows and in Command+r on macOS. In turn, to make Squish press the actual Ctrl key on macOS, you need to use Qt terminology: type("<Meta+r>").
