I implemented a command that takes few seconds to respond to the user.
How can I simulate the keyboard typing "..." ?

Thanks in advance.

You can do this with client.typing(channel: '#channel'), it sends something like { type: 'typing', id: 42, channel: 'channel' } to the web socket. See https://github.com/dblock/slack-ruby-client/blob/fcdc4b1c90df51ce14cf85480e0de47f9a2bc1a9/lib/slack/real_time/api/typing.rb#L10. There's an example here.

Note, if you're going to take some time to respond to user messages, you probably want to do the operation async.
