Q: How to clear field input

See original GitHub issue

Hi @kensoh

I’m ashamed to ask but how can I clear a (textarea) input? For example a basic text field input or textarea?

Currently when using textarea:

type //textarea as Lorem ipsum

It adds to the existing text in the textarea.

Hi @thim81 I’ve just committed to master with following comment.

For users wanting to use this before the packaged releases are out for the next release, you can download from master and overwrite your local copy (be careful if you already made local changes!)

Introduce [clear] keyword for step type / enter

Examples -
type element as [clear]
type email_element as [clear]test@email.com
type password_element as [clear]123456[enter]

Assumption is [clear] is always used at the start of the string to
type. Not a normal use case to type something then clear it. So TagUI
checks whether the string to type begins with [clear].

Thanks @thim81 it sounds like this will be better to be part of the type / enter step. Probably adding a [clear] keyword to signify emptying the field. Firefox/PhantomJS should be straightforward, Chrome need to add something more. Classifying as enhancement.
