The InputEvent is sent when the user submits text into a text field. This event updates when there is a change in focus, such as a PointerCaptureOutEvent that on a touch screen.
For default keyboard inputs, the inputEvent fires for each keystroke. InputEvent doesn’t fire when the TextField populates from an indirect source, such as an automated script.
