        This method waits for [actionability](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/actionability) checks, then focuses the element and selects all its
        text content.

        If the element is inside the `<label>` element that has an associated

        Parameters
        ----------
        force : Union[bool, None]
            Whether to bypass the [actionability](../actionability.md) checks. Defaults to `false`.
        timeout : Union[float, None]
            Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can
            be changed by using the `browser_context.set_default_timeout()` or `page.set_default_timeout()` methods.
