Signature: ```typescript type(text: string, options?: { delay?: number; }): Promise; ``` ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | text | string | A text to type into a focused element. | | options | { delay?: number; } | An object of options. Accepts delay which, if specified, is the time to wait between keydown and keyup in milliseconds. Defaults to 0. | Returns: Promise<void> ## Remarks To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [Keyboard.press()](./puppeteer.keyboard.press.md). Modifier keys DO NOT effect `keyboard.type`. Holding down `Shift` will not type the text in upper case. ## Example ```js await page.keyboard.type('Hello'); // Types instantly await page.keyboard.type('World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user ```
