Description

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

today, product tours can only progress to the next step in one of two ways:

  • "next step" button action
  • element click

however, many use-cases include the user typing into input fields

Describe the solution you'd like

add a "user fill in input" tour progression action

this action should attach a listener to the target input field, debounce 1s on input, and move to the next step after 1s of inactivity

Describe alternatives you've considered
