Usually, people also have a (standard) computer keyboard attached in addition to the braille display. Filling out text boxes and such is then done using the computer keyboard. But braille displays are also input devices - you also have buttons and switches and other controls to interact with the computer/app. For example, usually there is a button per braille module, a routing key, to click on an object at a particular position. With other controls you are able to navigate through the content.

Best wishes,
Rolf
