type out

Enter via keyboard

Type out means to produce text by pressing keys on a keyboard, typically emphasizing the complete or deliberate nature of the action.

You type out a message, a report, or a response: She typed out a quick reply before leaving.

The phrase often suggests effort or care—typing something out rather than speaking it or dashing it off.
