+
+Action Sequences
+----------------
+
+:class:`Actions` are designed as a way to simulate user input like a keyboard
+or a pointer device as closely as possible. For multiple interactions an
+action sequence can be used::
+
+ element = marionette.find_element("id", "input")
+ element.click()
+
+ key_chain = self.marionette.actions.sequence("key", "keyboard1")
+ key_chain.send_keys("fooba").pause(100).key_down("r").perform()
+
+This will simulate entering "fooba" into the input field, waiting for 100ms,
+and pressing the key "r". The pause is optional in this case, but can be useful
+for simulating delays typical to a users behaviour.
