Welcome Wizard: Should automatically advance after hitting enter

[bhdouglass]

When entering the "Preferred Name" into the welcome wizard, if the user hits the enter button it would be nice if it advanced to the next page automatically. Currently hitting the enter button just closes the keyboard. This also happens when inputting a password.

This issue should be fairly easy to fix if you have an Ubuntu Touch device. Even if you don't and have some QML know-how, you can get through this.

Check out 60-account.qml in Unity8. The textField where you enter your username has an accepted signal which is fired when the user presses Return on their keyboard. Hook that signal (onAccepted:) up to the next() signal on the pageStack to complete this task.

You can edit this QML directly on your device if you want. Mount the rootfs read-write and then edit the file (I think it's in /usr/share/unity8/Wizard/Pages/). To run through the wizard, run rm .config/ubuntu-system-settings/wizard-has-run and then restart unity8.

If you're taking this on, please add a comment here to say so.

Would you mind if I take this? This will give me an excuse to start hacking on Ubuntu Touch :D

[UniversalSuperBox]

Of course! Just let me know if you have any questions

Thanks @nikalon!

Note for QA:

You can re-run the Welcome Wizard once per session (reboot) by running truncate -s 0 .config/ubuntu-system-settings/wizard-has-run in the device terminal or via adb shell.

:) Hey! Thanks for this. Is there a way to run the code which tells us about swiping?

[UniversalSuperBox]

Sorry, I had the wrong command. rm .config/ubuntu-system-settings/wizard-has-run runs the wizard which is used in this case.

@3arn0wl, I'm not sure how to re-run the tutorial.

Thanks Dalton. :)

This is fixed in 2018-W48 on m10 HD
I get the menu until the welcome but tapping on introduction takes a long time and closes the wizard.
