touch keyboard come up behavior

[petrbuben]

Type: Bug

Hello, can you introduce/fix into Visual Studio Code a touchscreen keyboard functionality similar to what Word has? That is, do not come up on each (scrolling) touch.

Only come up on editing touch. Then, stay back until another editing touch.

I have many feature suggestions, to make VSC richer, better :). Hire me to code on these :)

Hi, I'm wondering how to reproduce this issue? Afaik my Windows device doesn't come with a touchscreen keyboard other than the on-screen keyboard, which is always at the top.

Hello, to reproduce, I was using Lenovo IdeaPad Duet, with detachable keyboard and onscreen touch keyboard.

In the case of Visual Studio Code, I had to use a couple of click to prevent touchscreen keyboard to always come up, when wanting just to scroll.

The behavior with MS Word was fine.
