@@ -41,3 +41,4 @@ Along with the common settings, the following driver-specific settings are avail
 | `maxTypingFrequency` | `int` | Maximum frequency of keystrokes for typing and clear. If your tests are failing because of typing errors, you may want to adjust this. Defaults to `60` keystrokes per minute. |
 | `respectSystemAlerts` | `boolean` | Currently we detect the app under test as active if XCTest returns XCUIApplicationStateRunningForeground state for it. In case the app under test is covered by a system alert from the Springboard app this approach might be confusing as we cannot interact with it unless an alert is properly handled. If this setting is set to true (by default it is false) then it forces WDA to verify the presence of alerts shown by Springboard and return the latter while performing the automated app detection. It affects the performance of active app detection, but might be more convenient for writing test scripts (e.g. eliminates the need of proactive switching between system and custom apps). Also, this behavior emulates the legacy active application detection logic before version 6 of the driver. |
 | `webScreenshotMode` | `native` or `page` or `viewport` | Defines the screenshoting logic if the current context is set to a web one. The default value is `native`, which makes the driver to take screenshots from WDA, e.g. the whole device screen including status bars. The `page` mode tries to retrieve the screenshot of the whole active web page, while the `viewport` one only retrieves a shot of the visible viewport. |
+| `useClearTextShortcut` | `boolean` | Whether to use the fastest operation (using IOHIDEvent) to clear texts. In headless mode, simulator's keyboard won't show up anymore after clearing texts using this approach in some cases (see [this issue](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/20727) for more details). Defaults to true |
