Add mobile keyboard support / mobile keyboard not working

Open trvrj opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Maintainer edit: Due to engine limitations, to use the app on a mobile device, you need to have a physical keyboard at the moment, either plugged through the device charging port or connected via Bluetooth.

The app is built on Godot 3 which does not support the on-screen keyboard on mobile devices. We have tried the experimental mobile keyboard feature of the engine, but it unfortunately is not compatible with writing code and will fail to type any letters.


The app tells me that my mobile browser screen is too narrow and to use at my own risk.

I would enjoy using this during downtime at work on my phone. The issue I'm running into is I'm unable to tap the IDE portion and enter text to add or edit the code. When I tap, the cursor appears but the keyboard will not popup. I have tried with Opera Full, Opera Gaming Browser, Chrome, and Samsung's browser with the same issue. It would be great to have mobility functionality so I can learn no matter where I am.

The app doesn't support mobile platforms, and adding mobile support for this is not planned. We're working on a new course instead that should support mobile platforms a bit better.
