Arrow keys don't work on iPad

[liu3xing3long]

the page will firstly be dragged down if you wanna scroll the text in the editor, both in safari and chrome on ipad, and arrow-key does not work, either. i believe this should belong to mobile platform adaption problems, but shall we fix it?

For the arrow keys, I have the same issue. I had the same on https://codesandbox.io But there it cans be fix by using the following option:

Use CodeMirror
Use CodeMirror instead of Monaco editor.

Maybe it helps ?

EDIT: Actually codeMiror does not change anything if the VScode editor is activated.

We can likely fix the arrow-keys. I believe in a recent version of WebKit they were actually fixed. It'll require a bit of additional patching to VS Code.

@clempat That won't work because Monaco is VSCode core. It won't be VSCode anymore if its not Monaco.

@kylecarbs to make iOS work, this needs a upstream patch, there's one in progress AFAIK

[kylecarbs]

We might be able to set a quick meta-tag to remove zooming on inputs.

As for the arrow keys, we could likely patch that.

would love to see this patched. My primary use for code-server is via an iPad Pro on the client side and although I got code-server to render after setting up my own SSL certs, I can't use arrow keys no matter which keyboard I set up with the iPad Pro.

I had wrote an iOS App that makes WKWebView support Arrow and Command.

Sure, but there are still some problems. I will create a repo.

• Disabled native Tab key event
• Textarea.foccus(), but no cursor
