In-editor on-screen keyboard

[roalyr]

I am currently suffering with coding a custom floating keyboard layout for my Android tablet to work with Godot (suffering because I am not an Android coder), and I thought that maybe it could be a simplier task to implement in-editor keyboard as a dockable window.

I have seen the plugin for 3.x that implements it, and thought that it may be re-used for the editor module:

The idea is that for large-screen device in landscape mode it could be handier to use a keyboard with one thumb either on left or right side, like what I am doing with my custom app:

When it is stretched on the bottom of the screen it takes away space and isn't handy to use when you hold your tablet with both hands. So in this case you have a phone-sized keyboard suited for the same thumb-typing.

The layout that you see I have been developing and finetuning since 2018, when I started coding on my phone.

Can you share the keyboard app?

It is worth mentioning that keyboard text-editing shortcuts (Ctrl+key) do not really work (even with gboard), so having a built-in editor keyboard would be the best UX, in terms of layout as well.

This thing works well too. If you have a second Android device, you can turn it into a BT keyboard + mouse: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.appground.blek

Hello 👋

Maybe you can be interested by this issue #10140 😊

Earlier this year I have started writing a new keyboard app that has floating capability like gboard. Base is done, but needs all the keys and features implemented, but I don't really have much time for it now.
