Description Anu Reddy 2013-12-30 21:33:30 UTC

Weston VKB does not allow arrow keys to move the cursor position for text editing using touch. This makes it difficult to chord keys (shift + arrow key) using touch.

Steps:
1. Ensure Weston.ini is configured to automatically launch the virtual keyboard application (VKB)
2. Launch Weston : weston-launch
3. Launch Weston terminal : weston-terminal
4. Run editor : Weston-editor
5. Click on “Entry” to launch virtual Keyboard. 
6. Enter text using virtual keyboard. 
7. Press arrow keys ( “<” , “>” ) on VKB to move cursor position. Cursor does not move on pressing arrow keys. 
8. Press shift + arrow key on VKB to select the text from weston-editor. User cannot select the text.

Which VKB are you using?  I can not reproduce this using the weston sample on-screen keyboard.  < and > moves the cursor and there is no shift key on the kb, so I'm not sure what you mean in 8).

I am using the same on-screen keyboard. < and >   does not work with touch . I cannot move the cursor by touching <, > where I can type the text by touching the alphabet keys.  Cursor moves only when clicking on arrow keys ‘< ‘ and ‘ >’ with mouse

I have attached a video. Here I am using ‘ABC’ as my shift key.  I can select the text using shift (ABC) and <  >  keys using mouse.
