Description

Problem

fillInput throws unless the locator resolves to an input or textarea:

locator.evaluate: Error: fillInput expects an input or textarea locator

Rich-text editors built on contenteditable DIVs (e.g. LinkedIn headline/About editors) cannot be filled, forcing a manual click + Ctrl+A + keyboard.type fallback.

Environment

Relay 0.6.0, extension 0.0.24, protocol v2, extension-backed Chromium tab.

Request

Accept contenteditable elements in fillInput (focus + select-all + insert text), mirroring the documented input/textarea fallback path.

Research direction

Start at the fillInput entry point and compare its documented input/textarea fallback path with the requested contenteditable behavior. Verify that contenteditable elements can be focused, select all, and receive inserted text, while existing input and textarea behavior remains unchanged.
