Opened from the wrong account by mistake; the real PR is #65.

…ky_key`)

Add an explicit `key_method=sky_key` to `type_text` and `press_key` that
delivers keyboard input to covered or off-Space windows without changing
the user's foreground app, key window, first responder or pointer.

Chromium only inserts text while its NSWindow is the AppKit key window, so
sky_key reuses sky_click's target-only synthetic-active record, then posts
yabai's make-key-window record pair, waits for the target to become key,
delivers the existing postToPid keyboard events, and releases the state.
Command chords are pressed through the target's AX menu bar because AppKit
only dispatches NSMenu key equivalents for the active app.

Windows/Linux expose the enum and return a stable unsupported error.
Includes unit tests, an opt-in isolated-Chrome live regression, docs,
a reference note recording the approaches that were verified not to work,
history and a completed execution plan.
