2 fingers tap to use pasteboard : iPad Keyboard Dismiss Annoyance

[ash34]

Not sure if this intended behaviour or not on an iPad with the virtual keyboard.

After pasting into the terminal the keyboard always dismisses immediately. It’s annoying as the very next thing the user will want to do is press the enter key or edit the pasted command. But instead the keyboard must be accessed again first.

Can the behaviour be changed or is there a reason for how it is now?

Hello @ash34 👋

It's not a wanted behaviour, most probably a bug on my side. But I would like a clarification please :

Are you using the "paste" action from the ellipsis to right icon or the "paste" action from the contextual menu (long press)?

The former should NOT hide the keyboard, the second could potentially hide it.

I am usually tapping the screen with 2 fingers.

I wasn't aware about this finger-combo under iPad

So yes this shows the contextual menu and so hide the keyboard by default.

I will enhance WebSSH to restore the keyboard state after this combo

How do you use the 2 fingers combo on the iPad? When I touch the screen the keyboard disappear and not contextual menu appear.

[ash34]

Yes like that. It pastes when I tap with 2 fingers. No other actions are needed.

Perhaps you should use this option instead :

It should remain the keyboard focused

[ash34]

Yes that solves it. Many thanks.
