# Type Text

Types text into a text box

#### Text

* Text to type into a focused element

To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [Press Key](/reference/browserflow-commands/interact-with-page/press-key.md)

#### Typing large amounts of text

If you need to type a large amount of text and Type Text is too slow for your needs, you can use Javascript in [Run Script](/reference/browserflow-commands/utilities/run-script.md) to set the text directly. ([Demo flow](https://browserflow.app/shared/e123ffb1-aa67-482d-8d92-b01a81f2c888))

#### Typing "$"

If you need to type a literal "$" character (e.g. `$100`), you can use "\\$" to escape the character so that Browserflow doesn't interpret it as a variable (e.g. `\$100`).
