Auto focus in message box on chat open #920

Open snoopcatt opened 4 years ago

Hello there.

I propose a new configuration option -- Focus on messagebox when opening chat window.

This is useful if you using phones with hardware keyboard, Blackberry, for example, and will save a lot of time, because in hardware-keyboard phones now you have to tap on message bar additionally to start typing.

@snoopcatt Xabber already has too many configuration options, we'd rather work on reducing them to improve user experience.

This feature is best done without an option. I believe, if a keyboard is present and open, input field in chat activity should automatically be in focus. However, since we don't have the device to test it on, if you want it done, email us info@xabber.com and be ready to receive a testing build of xabber with this function enabled.
