Keyboard not appearing when on mobile #79

This is pretty unnerving, especially when you want to type in a filename or rename a sample. I've tried it both on Android (Firefox on Android 11) and iOS (Firefox/reskinned Safari on iPadOS 15). I have not tried it with a physical keyboard, as I simply do not possess one :/

My wild guess is that this has to do with the UI being drawn on a canvas rather than being built with native HTML5 elements.

Indeed - currently the experience on mobile is best like a "mod player" because the tracker concept is really targeted towards keyboard-first use. I have some ideas to make the editing experience more touch-friendly but that would require a major concept change and I'm not sure yet If I want to go there. (enter the piano-roll :-) ) But at least the basic stuff like entering text should work.

This isn't possible, because the keyboard doesn't even pop up when selecting a text field.
