Can't enter text with physical keyboard in SDL2, only on-screen one

[StrikerTheHedgefox]

For some reason, in my program, I can only get text input via the on-screen keys, but not the physical keyboard.
My event code is as follows, just want to know what I'm doing wrong:

void UI_BeginInput()
{
	nk_input_begin(&ctx);
}

void UI_EndInput()
{
	nk_input_end(&ctx);
}

That looks right to me. Nuclear uses the nk_glyph(), which you're using. Is there anything else that could be emptying the buffer do you think?

[StrikerTheHedgefox]

Where would it even be getting the keypresses from? The demo example code doesn't look to be fetching anything other than the few basic navigation keys, yet it still gets full input from somewhere in the web example.

The in-game behaviour seems to reflect that, as only backspace, enter, and the arrow keys work.

Could this be a problem specific to the SDL implementation? I'm guessing the web version doesn't use SDL.

I'm guessing the web version doesn't use SDL.

The built web demo uses raylib currently.

Could this be a problem specific to the SDL implementation?

Does it happen on the current example demo code for you? Are you on Mac?

Where would it even be getting the keypresses from?

The SDL example here uses the sdl_renderer code, so maybe there'ss something we're missing there?

Hmm, interesting, I guess SDL_StartTextInput is required for it to start accepting text input (for the SDL_TEXTINPUT event to fire), but the SDL example (and thus, my code as well) doesn't call this function. Not sure where this would be best enabled. Is there an event that I can use to call SDL_StartTextInput on the opening of a text input, and SDL_StopTextInput when done?

Or, is this something that should be handled on nuklear_console's end?

[RobLoach]

That's a great question. I'm unsure of the best way to handle this case. Maybe we introduce a callback for onfocus and onblur, called whenever the active widgets change.

[StrikerTheHedgefox]

Yeah, that may be the best approach, a callback for when text fields and properties that you can keyboard edit gain/lose focus.

[RobLoach]

Something like this? #120

You'd have to register the NK_CONSOLE_EVENT_FOCUS and BLUR event on your textbox to call the textinput enter thing. Not sure why it's causing issue, the demo seems to be working 🤔

[StrikerTheHedgefox]

hmm, what about property text input? Same deal? I tried to do similar things to your code:

	nk_console* activeWidget = nk_console_get_active_widget(activeParent);
	if (activeWidget == NULL)
		return;

	if (activeWidget != currentWidget)
	{
		currentWidget = activeWidget;
		switch (currentWidget->type)
		{
			case NK_CONSOLE_PROPERTY_INT:
			case NK_CONSOLE_PROPERTY_FLOAT:
			case NK_CONSOLE_TEXTEDIT:
			case NK_CONSOLE_TEXTEDIT_TEXT:
				SDL_StartTextInput();
				break;
			default:
				SDL_StopTextInput();
				break;
		}
	}

However, it only works with text inputs, not when you're trying to input numbers into the properties.

Also noticed the backspace key will force you back a menu when editing properties, instead of backspacing the number.

[StrikerTheHedgefox]

Ah, I see what I did wrong, nk_console* activeWidget = nk_console_get_active_widget(activeParent); needed to be nk_console* activeWidget = activeParent->activeWidget;

So yeah, got things working, but still getting issues with backspacing on properties (I think that's something that's on Nuklear_Console's end, though). Aside from that, all good. Thanks for the help.

[RobLoach]

backspacing on properties

Ah, that makes sense. Having backspace be the back button can be problematic 🙃

[StrikerTheHedgefox]

Maybe it could be set to escape instead?

[StrikerTheHedgefox]

Were you able to look into the backspacing issue on slider text fields?

[RobLoach]

I haven't touched this in a while. HAving it be escape makes sense. May need to chnage the default raylib behavior for quitting with ESC. Either way I think it's sensible.
