Pattern: Use of force: true with action command

Issue: -

Description

Using force: true on inputs appears to be confusing rather than helpful. It usually silences the actual problem instead of providing a way to overcome it.

Example of incorrect code:

cy.get('button').click({force: true})
cy.get('button').dblclick({force: true})
cy.get('input').type('somth', {force: true})
cy.get('div').find('.foo').find('.bar').trigger('change', {force: true})
cy.get('input').trigger('click', {force: true})
cy.get('input').rightclick({force: true})
cy.get('input').check({force: true})
cy.get('input').select({force: true})
cy.get('input').focus({force: true})

Example of correct code:

cy.get('button').click()
cy.get('button').click({multiple: true})
cy.get('button').dblclick()
cy.get('input').type('somth')
cy.get('input').trigger('click', {anyoption: true})
cy.get('input').rightclick({anyoption: true})
cy.get('input').check()
cy.get('input').select()
cy.get('input').focus()
