Doesn't work at all on Android tablet

Open laurensdc opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

I use CodeMirror mostly through Obsidian. It works amazingly well on all my devices, including iOS devices. But when using it on an Android phone or tablet, the basics of Vim keybindings aren't working.

For example, when using hjkl to move in normal mode, characters appear in the text while moving. Escaping sometimes doesn't work and I get stuck in insert mode.

It seems that the detection of keys is just flaky and messes with the default text insertion.

I have issues with the native touch keyboard and with external bluetooth keyboards. I have these issues both in Obsidian (which embeds CodeMirror) and on the website of CodeMirror that demos Vim keybindings.

I'm having the exact same issues on Replit and Codewars vim modes, both embedding Codemirror.
