SwiftUI: Conditionally switch between custom / system keyboard

[laosb]

In our case the design calls for a text field with optional custom options (in custom keyboard), with a switch keyboard button in accessory view.

@laosb Thanks for trying out my swift package! Do you have some example code that I could take a look at to try to find a solution for?

Hey @laosb,

I have here two examples that might help you. I hope I understood your request correctly.

• One is building a Keyboard that allows switching between two custom keyboards
• A second one is the possibility of switching between a native (e.g. numpad) and a custom keyboard

I might search for something that allows a simpler approach out of the box from CustomKeyboardKit. Let me know if for now this helped at least! :-)

Hi, sorry for the delay, but we ended up manually introspecting our way to attach a custom keyboard, and when switching just change the inputView property and reload input views.

That works well, so this approach may work in this package. It should be easy to accept a Binding<Bool> in the modifier, and/or more flexible Binding<some Hashable?> for switching between multiple custom keyboards & system.

Hi @laosb Thank you so much for your reply and suggestion. If you feel that approach could benefit others, feel free to issue a PR that I can dice into.

It definitely sounds interesting. I will observe if that request to dynamically switch between Keyboards is something the Community would need.

Kind regards and all the best! Pascal
