First of, please don’t top-post.  Second of, the type—enter split a
bad idea.  It would require me to think whether I should use one or
the other.  type() is perfectly fine, because Automa is never going to
be used as from automa import *.  And if it is, it’s in your shell for
non-Pythonistas.

And also, my general thoughts: type() is just fine.  Unless you want
to call it simulate_pressing_keys_on_the_keyboard_without_getting_a_mechanical_arm_out_of_the_screen_and_pressing_the_keys_with_it(),
but then you will need to create
simulate_using_the_mouse_without_getting_a_mechanical_arm_out_of_the_screen_and_moving_the_mouse_or_pressing_its_buttons_with_it(),
too.
