I'm creating a local chrome extension to automate some work that my team and I regularly do.

We need to fill some input fields in a webpage in a way that simulates real user interaction/input; so all events bound to an input field are triggered.

For example, we have an input field that triggers filtering of a list. We want the list to be filtered when the user input is simulated.

The desired outcome we're looking at is similar to Puppeteer's page.keyboard.type.

Note: just changing the input.val via code won't do, as the event triggering the filtering could be bound to the keydown, keyup, focusout or any other event.
