`submit()` helper

I would like to propose adding a submit() test helper since submitting forms seems like a regular thing that is done in tests. We currently have two options:

1. click() on a type="submit" button
2. use triggerEvent(..., 'submit')

but they are not entirely obvious and not specific to forms. Having a dedicated submit() helper would make this a lot easier and could also add assertions on whether the passed selector actually belongs to a form, etc.

async function submit(selector) {
  await triggerEvent(selector, 'submit');
}

+1 for this.

I know I can use triggerKeyEvent('button', 'keydown', 13) and triggerEvent('form', 'submit'), but I specifically need to test that pressing enter when a text field is focused will submit the form (i.e. browser’s default behaviour)… But triggerEvent('input', 'keydown', 13) will not accomplish that - well it does in the app, but not in the test suite.

What user interaction is being emulated by the helper? I assume that its effectively clicking on a submit button, right?

that, or pressing <kbd>Enter</kbd> in a form input

What should the selector point to? A form? The button?

the form, same as for the raw triggerEvent() helper
