Yes, you are right.
I dont understand why I typed the following answer last week and did not posted it…
Posting it nevertheless for future reference.

It looks like using Vanilla "input" event it works just fine:

shortAndSweet('textarea, input');

setTimeout(
	function() {
		// Change input content
		$('textarea').val('foo');
		// Tell shortAndSweet about it
		$('textarea').get(0).dispatchEvent(new Event('input'))
	},
	1000,
);

My issue must be jQuery-related, sorry for the trouble.

Let's hope it will help others ;)

Does work when using a normal JavaScript event. https://jsfiddle.net/oz6fd8L4/1/
