Bugs in Termux

[Der-Meister-von-codes]

When using the latest version of the keyboard inside the Termux emulator, there are many problems: the insert button does not work, the keyboard switches to upper case after each character entered, the built-in copy content button does not work. Please fix these bugs, because they make it impossible to use the program normally.

To reproduce the error just go to Termux emulator and try to write anything there, the problem is on both my phones with different OS.

Duplicate of #132?

As a work-around, you can turn off auto-capitalize in the settings. I'm not really sure how to tackle this one.

[dessalines]

I tried but I can't figure this one out. Termux seems to take over and keep re-initializing the inputservice.

maybe turn off auto capitalisation in the code when thumbkey is used in termux?

[dessalines]

I can't determine what app is currently in use.

I believe android apps can set a status flag that requests things from the IME such as disabling auto capitalization or correction features. This gets activated for password fields and some other terminal emulators (Juice for example). That puts the onus here on Termux to implement this, not this keyboard. Unless of course the keyboard is ignoring those existing hints.

i also get the comma character spaced when double-clicking SPC... e.g. out of termux: word and then double-clicking SPC would render 'word,' and at Termux: 'word ,' however period works fine...

Florisboard had a similar issue that was fixed. The issue comments don't tell how, but it should be possible to figure out by digging into the commit history...

Allow users to disable auto capitalization of extra keys text. The user can add extra-keys-text-all-caps=false entry to termux.properties file to disable auto capitalization of extra keys text for both normal and popup buttons. The default value is true. Running termux-reload-settings command will also update the behaviour instantaneously if changed. (5c72c3ca)

Does it also affect input providers, or just a Termux functionality known as extra keys?

[BlueDrink9]

ah, good question. I didn't realise that was a feature name. Not sure

Same issue in KDE Connect (Remote input), uppercase after each character

(Also, backspace doesn't do anything in KDE Connect, but I'm not sure if this is the same issue)

Both MessagEase and the default Android keyboard work fine

I had the same issue in JuiceSSH. Decided to attach a debugger, and found a way to fix it :smile: See #890

Termux still has issues, so we could use some help with that one.
