text input enhancement #769

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

I have two request to text input in CM 7.2.0. They are related each other

Problem:

1 There are some android inconsistency in text input sometimes like in 
GoogleQuickSearchBox cursor is automatically inserted in text input and 
keyboard is automatically opened but other cases like searching for contact in 
phone contact, text input is opened cursor inserted but keyboard is closed. You 
need touch text input to open keyboard. This is the case for examle in phone 
contact search or in sms. I think it is the case in every text input besides in 
apps that hardcoded keyboard open to itself. This behavior has no sense, in 
every situation witch poping text input user want to write something. But is 
forced to take this not needed steep.

2. Is related to first. If there is text in text input and of course keyboard 
is closed. Touching on end of the text makes keyboard appear and moves cursor 
at the beginning of input which is annoying.
Scenario looks likes this:
- hosing for example to rename file in RootExplorer
- text input appear
- touching end of the text or whenever user want to make change
- keyboard appear, cursor moved to beginning
- touching again at end of the text 

Solution: 

make keyboard appear as default whenever cursor is in text input. This would 
remove extra step form problem 1 and third step form problem 2 or at least 
please make cursor stay in place when I am touching text input this would 
resolve at least problem 2

I know that this may be minor problem for some but this things stand out when 
rest are so great. And it looks like something that ca be done in no time.

Please rate the importance of your Feature Request *for others*
