Virtual Keyboard Woes

Post by AgustinCordes »

Hello all!

I've been trying the marvelous iOS port on an iPad and, hands down, this is an epic work. Most games run flawlessly, some almost feel as if they were *meant* for the iPad.

There is one thing that is seriously bugging me though: the virtual keyboard doesn't seem to work on landscape mode, or at least I could not find a way to enable it. Yes, I know you can turn the iPad and use it in portrait mode, but this is obviously cumbersome.

Ideally, I want to play, say, an AGI game in landscape and with a quick tap or gesture show or hide the keyboard. Is this even possible at the moment? If not I'm ready to look into it myself.

For the record I'm using the 1.3.1 release from GitHub.

Anyone? I think this modification would largely improve the playability of AGI and early SCI games. Who is maintaining the iOS port?

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I would think feature requests like this would be best posted to the feature request tracker.
