### Send Input ([Preview](https://aka.ms/terminal-preview/))

Send arbitrary text input to the shell.
As an example the input `"text\n"` will write "text" followed by a newline to the shell.

ANSI escape sequences may be used, but escape codes like `\x1b` must be written as `\u001b`.
For instance `"\u001b[A"` will behave as if the up arrow button had been pressed.

**Command name:** `sendInput`

#### Actions

| Name | Necessity | Accepts | Description |
| ---- | --------- | ------- | ----------- |
| `input` | Required | String | The text input to feed into the shell. |
