This looks nice. I work on a rich text editor and have a large Playwright test suite. The hardest bugs to catch are always the ones where a speciffic sequence of user actions leaves the editor in a broken state, things like formatting inside a merged table cell or pasting content mid-selection. You would never think to write a test for those combos manually.

Curious how well the action generators work with contenteditable elements though. Rich text editors have a lot of browser-level behavior that isn't just clicks and keypresses, things like IME input, drag and drop, clipboard events. Can you write custom action generators for that kind of stuff?



That sounds like a pretty ideal case for Bombadil. Yeah you can write custom generators for exactly this reason!
