Type text where vscode has focus not just in the editor window

Nobody has claimed this yet.

I am trying to create a macro that will execute a find and replace.

I can use editor.action.startFindReplaceAction but that just opens the input. I tried putting a command text after that to input the text I wanted to find but that typed the text in the main editor and not in the find dialog box. Is there anyway to pass arguments to find and replace or to have the type command add text to the input box instead of the editor?

Start by tracing how the macro invokes editor.action.startFindReplaceAction and how the type command chooses its target. Check whether the VS Code command interface supports passing find/replace arguments or typing into the focused input. Done means a macro can open find and replace and enter its text there rather than in the main editor.
