Check type with special characters

userEvent.type writes text correctly. But I’m not sure how it behaves with special characters like è or 👍 .

It would be good to have tests covering these cases

There is no on going work related to support “press enter” action? I will be happy to contribute if there is nothing in place yet, nevertheless, looks odd because it should be a very common usage case. Isn’t? What does the people do now?

I have tried with:

           fireEvent.keyDown(searchInput, {
                charCode: 13,
                code: 13,
                key: 'Enter',
                keyCode: 13,
            })

And it doesn’t work to trigger the submit of the form I have

UPDATE: there is a submit event fireEvent.submit(searchInput) check all events at https://github.com/testing-library/dom-testing-library/blob/master/src/events.js

Hi, is there any progress on this? What have people been doing to simulate enter key presses if userEvent.type(textArea, "Testing!{enter}"); doesn’t work?
