The Playdate Keyboard kicks my butt.


If you're in a hurry, you might see a screen like this.

This is what happens if you *do* press OK on an invalid letter ๐Ÿ˜…

I've tried reshowing the keyboard in the WillHide callback without, then with, a system timer if the selected letter is not A thru Z. I've tried having the main update loop reshow the keyboard if not visible and waiting for a valid letter to be chosen after a timer (up to 1 second).

I am now -while writing this- realizing that I didn't call timers.update()... I was going to rant about how I almost tore my hair out over this and wanted to ask the Panic team if they could let us override keyboard hiding. But now I should test this.
If it works, expect another revision to drop this weekend lol. Until then, please don't select OK until you've chosen a valid letter!

Please, please, please leave a comment and let me know if there's any other polish you think it could use or features that would be handy! What would it take for you to pay or donate $3 USD for this?

Yep, that was the problem. I'm also making the "Invalid char" tile look nicer :)
