Bug 1710316 couldn't get a test since there is no way to do that.

Random thought: the JS side of the API might look like this:

synthesizeNativeKey(..., async () => {
  // The API synthesizes keydown and calls this
  // ... synthesize other things ...
  // After this function ends, the API synthesizes keyup
});

As I said that I'm afraid about the stateful API, SetKeyboardState. If the test causes JS error or unexpected timeout during the function, the state won't be restored and next test will start. So, it may be harder to understand the failure than usual ones.
