Feature Request: Chrome DevTools - Emulate mobile keyboard #7047

Welcome! Please use this template for reporting documentation issues on https://developers.google.com/web/.

What needs to be done? I would like to request a feature in the DevTools where the mobile keyboard can be initiated and dismissed in mobile view. This would allow developers to properly emulate what the user would see whenever the keyboard is initiated. Currently, we are able to see a keyboard when certain devices are emulated, but it is not functional and it does not allow us as developers to see what the user would be seeing.

I would have found this useful when developing a website with a multi-select. On mobile, when initiating the multi-select, it does in fact make the keyboard pop up. This is something that I would not have known if I hadn't tested on a mobile device first.

I believe that having a true keyboard emulation would be very helpful when testing anything with autocomplete or predictive text.

Thanks for filing the issue, since this is a feature request for DevTools itself and not the documentation I suggest you file a feature request on the chrome bug tracker or discuss it within the chrome-devtools mailing list. you can see other ways of reaching out to chrome devtools in the community section of the documentation.

Thanks :)
