  "description": "Type text into a pane, press named keys in it, or both. `text` is sent literally, so C-c in it types those three characters. Use `keys` for anything without a character of its own -- C-c to interrupt a running command, Escape, Up, C-d -- which are tmux key names and are interpreted. Text, keys, and optional Enter keep that order in one tmux dispatch. Before input, the configured synchronized-pane cohort is observed; a dead, input-disabled, mode-owned, terminal-attended, or inherited-caller member refuses the whole call, and so does an active run_shell_command, except for keys C-c or C-\\ sent alone, which interrupt it. Returned pane IDs describe configured membership, not confirmed delivery. The observation can race with tmux processing the input. A submitted line is remembered briefly so wait_for_text can discount its own echo; an unrecognized key stops that for the pane's current line rather than mask it inaccurately. Send input to a pane's program; a shell that receives it runs it with your user's permissions.",
