[BUG] jtx input fields don't accept characters via a VNC connection

Open git-3847 opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug I have a VNC server on my phone (droidVNC-NG), this makes it much easier to do lots of tasks at my finger friendly notebook or desktop keyboard. I recently installed jtxBoard (and like it a lot, with a few reservations), but its the first Android app I've encountered where I couldn't use VNC keyboard input. I have to use the soft keyboard on the device (either through VNC mouse events or true screen events).

To Reproduce

  1. Install droidVNC-NG
  2. Connect to the phone with a standard vnc client (I use FreeBSD vncviewer)
  3. Test keyboard input with other apps (Email client, calendar, text editor)
  4. Test keyboard input on jtxBoard (and hopefully reproduce this issue!)

Expected behavior

  1. It would be awesome if the VNC generated keystrokes got to the jtx input field
