Additional iOS Keyboard Next Preference #12968

Open tj-devel709 opened 1 year ago

tj-devel709 commented 1 year ago

Description

This PR https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/11914 makes it possible to move on to the next UITextView or UITextField when pressing "Next" on an Entry or Editor with the ReturnType="Next".

This PR implements similar behavior as WinUI and Xamarin.Forms as it will search for the next view to focus by Logical Order incorporating Z-Indexes. However, Android prioritizes Visual Order rather than logical order.

This proposal is to add a property that would allow the user to specify which type of order they would like to follow on a Next press or tab when using iOS. Perhaps Android users could also have an option to specify they would like to sort by Logical Order.

This branch has a decent start for the visual order implementation: https://github.com/tj-devel709/maui/tree/KeyboardNextReturnType-IntricateRecursion

(Public) API Changes

Perhaps a top-level xaml property that allow a user to select which type of order they would like to follow.

Property: "TabSort" Enums: Logical, Visual, Default (Visual for Android and Logical for other platforms)

Usage Scenarios

<Layout TabSort="Logical">
    ...
</Layout>

Backward Compatibility

If we have a default enum value, there should not be any breaking changes with this

Difficulty

Medium
