Filling large amount of text result in timeout

[kth8]

Description of the bug

While using this MCP server with my agent, I noticed the fill tool would frequently timeout after 5000ms when typing in large amounts of text.

Naturally I asked my agent to implement a workaround. After some trial and error it seems like replacing handle.asLocator().fill with page.keyboard.type() in src/tools/input.ts worked.

Is this something the maintainers would be willing to look at and perhaps implement a more robust solution for than what I could came up with? I can provide more details if needed.

Reproduction

Type a long paragraph using fill

Expectation

Fully type the text without timing out

page.keyboard.type() only works for the keyboard input and does not handle other types of input controls. It also does not check if the element is ready/able to receive input.

page.keyboard.type() times out as well in a test for me. The locator fill() uses page.keyboard.type() underneath so it makes sense. The reason is that each character is types one by one and that takes longer for larger texts.
