Using the default program, the on-screen keyboard does not automatically activate (reported on ipads, verified on android phone) making it impossible to have text input.

Options:

  • A new command to trigger a device's on-screen keyboard (untested, but the downloaded version might benefit from this command as well)
  • A button next to "back" that will toggle on-screen keyboard while program is running

Tagging as P2- we've gotten help emails about ipad/phone support and we should empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more, even if they're not on a traditional computer.

Probable solution: add content-editable="true" to the input-field div and prevent event propagation by having this javascript somewhere:

$('.input-field').on('keydown', function(event) {
    return false;
});

Should be tested, preferable on a tablet or phone as well as a standard keyboard, before being checked in.
