Hi,
I'm developing a GUI Automation library (http://www.getautoma.com) and am having difficulty picking a name for the function that simulates key strokes.. I currently have it as 'type' but that clashes with the built-in function.. Example uses of 'type':
type(ENTER)
type("Hello World!")
type(CTRL + 'a')
What, in your view, would be the most intuitive alternative name?
Here are my thoughts so far: I could call it 'press' but then our GUI automation tool also allows you to click things and then "press" might be mistaken for "pressing a button". A less ambiguous alternative is "type_keys" butthat is rather long and doesn't read as well, for instance in type_keys(ENTER).
Thank you very much!
