After my latest fix I can't reproduce the issue, seems fixed, or not 100% repro. Since this is experimental, bugs that occur infrequently (< 25% of cases) are acceptable. I noticed in one of four times I brought up keyboard, that I typed "One" and the letters ended up "noo", but was not able to reproduce after several more attempts. |

It might be helpful to note that the keyboard does not work in editor or while remoting.

For the future: @CDiaz-MS noticed that Unity UI will sometimes select all of the text when the text input field is selected. Since this is the default Unity behavior, we decided not to change it. If we want to force Unity UI to always move the caret to the end, solutions are presented here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41484725/how-to-disable-selectall-text-of-ui-inputfield-when-it-gets-focus |

Original PR from @Alexees:Overview
The class MixedRealityKeyboard is a MonoBehaviour that shows how to Open, Close and use the system native keyboards on UWP platforms.
The programmer still has the responsibility to link it with whatever she/he needs the input for. This means she/he needs to write additional MonoBehaviour scripts to link the with for example InputFields, which activate on click.
I wanted to make this easier in that InputFields and TMP_InputFields are handled directly by just one additional script attached to them.
Fixes: #3970 by providing a workaround -- to get the keyboard to show up, attach the input field helper component to the gameobject containing the input field.
Changes
This set of scripts provides the following:
I first went for overriding the InputFields, but first, they are far too complicated to just do that and second, The existing implementation of MixedRealityKeyboard.cs already completely ignores InputField interactions and second there might be more uses for the keyboard than just InputFields.
