Tips and best practices

You can refer to the value of the input with the text property.

The input field will be updated only after the virtual keyboard has been closed and the input has been submitted.

It’s not necessary to attach virtual keyboards component on CohtmlView or CohtmlUISystem GameObjects but it is good practice to keep them in the same place for the best hierarchy structure.

Do not add 2 or more virtual keyboard components of the same type to one scene. It’s enough to have only one CohtmlTouchKeyboard and/or CohtmlXboxKeyboard on the scene.
