Send keys using javascript on Overleaf

I have been trying to send keys (just as if you are typing on the keyboard) on overleaf using javascript and jquery. I can see there is a .ace_cursor object but it does not seem to work when I try to do this:

$('.ace_cursor').html('test')

Am I using the wrong object to dispatch keys or the wrong approach to do so?
