How to leave keyboard always opened with UIInput?

[IZLogic]

Hello,
My question is in the title, for my new words game I need the keyboard will be always opened and active during the game also when the user press the Done/Enter button or touch elsewhere on the screen.
I need it because the user will write more than 1 word and I don't want the keyboard desappear and re-open all the time, but I still need to catch the word submission by return or done.

So I had a look at UIInput class and around lines 200 I found where the keyboard is opened, but I cannot understand how to stop hiding.
Could anyone please help me on this?
Thanks,
IZLogic

Keyboard will always hide on submit. You can give focus to another input field right after to make it pop back up, however.

Anything else -- and you will need to modify UIInput to suit your needs.

There should be an option in UIInput to decide this behaviour. For example in a chat or IM like application the keyboard should remain on screen after submit.

Anyone managed to stop hiding the keyboard on submit? Can you explain how you did that?

When you submit, the keyboard gets closed -- just how Unity works here. You can re-open it later. In your OnSubmit notification, set isSelected to false then back to true.

Hi,

I have the same issue as hexaust. Is there now a way to keep the keyboard permanently open?

That's a question for Unity.
