Value (simple form): string specifying the keys to be sent
Value (key/value form):

• sendKeys: string, required, specifying the keys to be sent
• times: integer, optional, the number of times to send the keys specified (default: 1)

# simple form
- sendKeys: (string)

# simple example
- sendKeys: '{alt-d}https://crbn.us'

# key/value form
- sendKeys: (string, required)
  times: (string, optional)

EXAMPLE:

commands:
- name: 'TEAMS: be right back'

  execute:
  - app: '| Microsoft Teams'
  - sendKeys: '{ctrl-e}{500 wait}{esc}/brb{500 wait}{enter}'

Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTED
Consider:

• use keys instead of sendKeys, with send, press, and release as children;
• if keys.release: null release all keys currently pressed
