 ## Notes
 
+### When to use cy.type()
+
+While `.press()` dispatches native keyboard events, use [`cy.type()`](/api/commands/type) for:
+
+- **Text input**: Typing multiple characters or words
+- **Special character sequences**: `{backspace}`, `{selectAll}`, `{moveToEnd}`
+- **Modifier combinations**: `{ctrl}c`, `{shift}b`
+- **Form filling**: When you need to simulate specific timing of typing behavior
+
+```javascript
+// Use .press() for single key events
+cy.press(Cypress.Keyboard.Keys.TAB)
+
+// Use .type() for text and complex sequences
+cy.get('input').type('Hello{backspace}World')
+```
+
 ### Strings with multiple characters
 
 Strings with multiple characters are not supported. If you need to input longer strings into a text input or similar, use [`cy.type()`](/api/commands/type).
