mobium keyboard
This tool on every surface: CLI · MCP · Python · JavaScript · Go · Java · .NET
Read, type into, press a key on, or hide the soft keyboard
With no flags, says whether the keyboard is up and which field has focus.
--text types at that field's cursor, confirmed by reading the field back —
for a field nothing names, where type needs a target. --key presses
enter, delete or space, after any text. --hide hides the keyboard,
confirmed; an iPhone keyboard has no hide key, and when the app offers
no way the refusal names the one that usually works.
A password field's value is never printed.
