title: Robot Framework Text Field Clearing and Inputting
body: <p>I am automating a web page using Robot Framework. The page has unusual text fields that receive automatic input (not placeholder values) in case <em>Enter</em> is hit for invalid values.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the text field:
  <div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="bound_value"&gt;
   &lt;input id="ember475" size="5" type="text" class="ember-view ember-text-field"&gt;
   &lt;input id="ember476" type="checkbox" class="ember-view ember-checkbox"&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>I have tried handling with <strong>Input Text</strong> as well as <strong>Press Key</strong>.
  I am a beginner-programmer rather, so please forgive me my wording further on.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>With <strong>Input Text</strong>: the behavior was as if I clicked on the field,
  cleared the content, hit Enter and then inputted the value.</p></li>
  <li><p>With <strong>Press Key</strong> the behavior was as if I clicked on the field add
  just typed in input adding to what I was already contained.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Clear Element Text</strong>+<strong>Press Key</strong> worked the same way as <strong>Input Text</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I need a way to click on the text field, to remove the content, to <strong>not hit enter</strong>, to type in text, then hit enter.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do this using RIDE Custom Libraries?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance for your effort.</p>
