Scratch-blocks: Touch event on PC should open on-screen keyboard

Created on 29 Apr 2016  路  4Comments  路  Source: LLK/scratch-blocks

The convention on a Windows computer with a touch-screen is:

  • A click event in a user-input field should not display an on-screen keyboard, but
  • A touch event in a user-input field should display an on-screen keyboard.

We should probably follow this convention when choosing whether to display (for example) our number pad.

@rachel-fenichel Btw I was curious if you tested this?

Currently touch events on edge on windows are fairly broken--edge and IE don't implement the touch events API, only pointer events. I need to go back and test it again but I'm not optimistic right now.

This is working now on a surface tablet.
