eraseText

The eraseText command removes characters from the currently selected text field (if any) and can be used as such:

- eraseText # Removes up to 50 characters (default)

If you need to remove more characters, you can specify a number explicitly:

- eraseText: 100    # Removes up to 100 characters

Note: This is for searches looking for clearText.

- longPressOn: "<input text id>"
- tapOn: 'Select All'
- eraseText
