Yes, this is the sort of test that I think makes sense, a test for cursor
movements for example I think would be appropriate for a VE browser test.

Would you like to write a Cucumber scenario for such a test?

Also note though, that as of the latest VE deployment to test2wiki, we have
a regression bug such that we no longer enter text reliably in VE at all,
even in English: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53360
