Add on-screen keyboard (mobile)

[gunar]

The game doesn't use all hexadecimal values. There are only 6 that are valid. This means we might be able to create a better UI on mobile.

I'm thinking something analogous to <input type="tel"> but with the hex values instead:

We could create a "steps"-like interface where you're taken to different screens to input buffer size, matrix, and sequences.

Cool idea! Could be handy for mobile users. Thanks for the feedback!

I use a keyboard macro tool to make it faster to input. Use the numpad so I can hit enter for each line. Saves me a TON of time.

@psayre23 The text inputs now autocomplete the octet, and backspace removes the entire octet. E.g. if you press 7 or a, it will automatically fill in 7a. This does not work on mobile yet unfortunately, but I hope it makes it a bit faster.

Have you looked at simple keyboard you can display only keys and the change what is displayed, was able to quickly change their sandbox to only show the relative keys and then change the display to match. Haven’t tried to see if it replaces the mobile keyboards yet but might be promising.

I think the problem with this still is when you a mobile phone it displays a full keyboard and you need to switch between alpha to numeric. It would be super convent to have a custom keyboard be displayed if it's a mobile site that only has the keys that are needed to display.

So if on IOS you can download Keybuild (not free $3.99 - there maybe others) and you can layout your own custom keyboards here is what I did

keybuild - ios keyboard designer - android (untested by me)
