[BUG] Shift key doesn't work throughout the app when using a physical keyboard #1681

Closed amshetley closed 1 year ago

amshetley commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug
When using a physical keyboard to enter text in Sync, the shift keys appear to be disabled. This means formatting comments and posts with correct capitalization require tedious use of Caps Lock. Verified the bug with both a Bluetooth keyboard (iClever IC-BK08) and a USB-C physical keyboard (Keychron Q1). Also verified that this issue is specific to Sync For Reddit. The keyboards work fine in other apps on the phone.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Connect a physical keyboard to a phone.
  2. Navigate to a post and create a new comment.
  3. Attempt to use the left or right shift keys to capitalize a letter.
  4. See error. The shift key doesn't work as expected.

Expected behavior
I expected the shift keys to work in reddit sync.

Smartphone

Additional context
I use Swype as my phone's virtual keyboard. In case that happens to be relevant to the issue somehow.

This doesn't appear to be an issue with Sync. It is indeed related to my use of Swype well past its expiration date. Shift being disabled appears to affect some apps but others.
