When I open the Chrome debug view and set the device to "iPad Mini" to simulate its screen size (and touch events), interacting with a text input causes the Windows on-screen keyboard to open.
This computer is not a tablet, and has never had a touch screen. In the Windows Ease of Access -> Keyboard settings Turns on the On-Screen Keyboard is off.
I can only assume that Chrome "simulating" an iPad Mini is causing Windows to think there's a touchscreen. I've been using this feature for a few months now, and the keyboard opening only started happening recently. I may have simply flipped a switch in the settings (of Chrome or Windows) on accident. If that's the case, I'd like to know how to flip it back!
This is frustrating because I have to close the keyboard each time as it covers up a large portion of the web-app.
The same page without the "iPad Mini" simulation does not open the keyboard:
(This keyboard also opens when choosing any device that has a touch screen, not just iPad Mini.)
Chrome doesn't emulate the keyboards of the device profiles you pick. An image of a keyboard will show for certain ones, like the iPhone 5X, but it is non-functional and is just present to allow you to see how the various elements on the page respond to the keyboard. You can see my answer here for more details on viewing that. However, this is not the same keyboard you are seeing.
It looks as though there is something in Windows, which is triggering the on-screen keyboard. I'm not sure why it would still appear if you have it disabled, but you could try a couple of things, based on what I've found online:
Make sure 'Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service' is set to disabled in Services (services.msc)
SetLOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\ ShowTabletKeyboard from value 1 to 0 (regedit.exe)
Check there is no other 3rd party software running, which may affect your keyboard behaviour.

In MFC, how do I stop the touch keyboard from appearing when selecting controls without text inputs? Specifically, CComboBox-derived and original CListBox controls. The issue occurs in a large C++ application for touchscreen tablets running Windows 10. Bizarrely, selecting any CEdit control in the application solves the issue until the application restarts.
I've been looking at InputScope, AutomationPeer, and even killing the keyboard process TabTip.exe after it appears, but none of these prevent the keyboard from showing in the first place.
A previous solution involved changing the "Automatically show touch keyboard" registry setting SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7\EnableDesktopModeAutoInvoke on focus change, but alerting the touch keyboard with SendNotifyMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SETTINGCHANGE) added unacceptable delay to the UI.
I'm using Tauri and would like to change the menu items shown when clicking my application in the taskbar using the right mouse button (Windows/Linux) or double click (MacOS).
For example Firefox shows "Open a New Window" and music players often show "Play/Pause" or "Next track" buttons. How to do that with Tauri?
I'm aware of SystemTrayMenu in Tauri, but that only seems to affect the system tray, not the task bar.
(What I mean by "taskbar": the line of application icons that you click to open them, and that usually indicate which ones are running. I think MacOS calls it Dock, in Windows it's at the bottom between start button and clock, and Linux isn't very homogeneous but in Ubuntu it's vertically on the left by default. I do not mean the system tray of usually smaller icons that are almost always next to the clock, that are usually more like background services. I.e. I mean where your browser usually shown up, not where your VPN usually shows up.)
Tauri does not support this at the moment (2022-06-27). You may file a feature request.
On my arm embedded device with a touchscreen, I have a 3rd party program (program A), that creates a window which handle keyboard presses. Because of that, this window always has to have focus. This is a closed source, and I do not have options to modify it.
I need to create a window in linux, that never grabs focus. It just shows an image, some times full screen. However, I have options not to make it full screen (1 pixel less, so window below is visible.).
Right now, I am using only X server, but I can install (almost) any window manager.
Is there a way to create a window in X, that never gets focus? If I understand X correctly, a window bellow mouse will get focus.
Is there a window manager, which supports such feature?
Is this possible to do with with xcb or wayland?
On Wayland, it's up to the compositor to tell the client whether it has focus or not, and which surface(s) to send key events to. So it would depend on the compositor or compositor toolkit you're using if it's possible.
KWin has an option that sounds like it does what you want. Right click the window title bar and choose more actions -> special window settings -> accept focus
Of the compositor toolkits, I only know the Qt Wayland Compositor API, and with that it should be possible (assuming your application can run as a Wayland client). The easiest thing would be to just show the image in the compositor using the QML APIs, or you could set enabled: false on the WaylandQuickItem or ShellSurfaceItem that you don't want to grab input focus.
The virtual keyboard in the simulator is not showing when I focus on a text field.
It showed the first time I clicked inside the text field but subsequent clicks in the text field do not bring up the virtual keyboard.
This is happening for the IPhone 6 to iPhone X simulators.
I'm using Visual Studio Mac.
It would appear the simulator detected my Macs keyboard, so it no longer shows the virtual keyboard.
How can I fix this so that the virtual keyboard shows whenever I interact with a control that accepts text input.
Solution
In the top menu bar of the simulator I had to turn "Connect Hardware Keyboard" off.
I got there by going to Hardware -> Keyboard -> Connect Hardware Keyboard
I'm checking my app against iOS8 in the simulator and one thing that puzzles me is that when I tap on a UITextField or UITextView the keyboard doesn't appear on the screen! I can still enter text with my hardware keyboard. Also, if the input element has a inputAccessoryView, that view is shown on the bottom of the screen. So everything works as expected except that the keyboard is not appearing on the screen.
This is valid for all input elements throughout the app.
I don't use the new feature for custom keyboard.
Checked the Settings - don't see anything that can help.
I know XCode6 is still a beta but this seems too obvious problem to be a bug (or is it!?)
In the iOS Simulator menu select:
Hardware > Keyboard > Toggle Software Keyboard
or press Cmd + K.
The Connect Hardware Keyboard option in the same menu has to be enabled.
This seems to be bug in iOS 8. There are two fix to this problem:
Toggle between simulator keyboard and MacBook keyboard using [Command+K] shortcut key.
Reattach keyboard to simulator:
a. Open Simulator
b. Select Hardware -> Keyboard
c. Uncheck and then check 'Connect Hardware Keyboard'
OR simply press [Shift + Command + K] shortcut key
i had the same issue and i resolved by doing following steps
1) Select the iOS Simulator
2) Goto Hardware in menu (top Left)
3) Select Keyboard
4) Uncheck the "Connect Hardware Keyboard" option
Happy Coding :)
I highly recommend to disable "Slow Animations" which can be found under "Debug" -> "Slow Animations".
For me, that permanently fixes the issue.
Shortcut is: CMD + T
