On-Screen Keyboard

Homebase has one console-style keyboard layout, used in two places:

• In Homebase: search, Add app fields, profile names.
• In apps: a panel along the bottom of the screen that types straight into the app above it, live, while the app keeps focus.

When it appears

• Selecting any text field in Homebase opens it.
• In an app it pops up when you select a text box, or when the page puts the cursor in one by itself (sign-in codes, search pages).
• View opens it on demand in any app.
• If you close it while still in the same box, it stays closed until you move to another box or select one again.

Password boxes get the keyboard too; what you type shows as dots, and Homebase never stores it.

Controller shortcuts

Button	Does
D-pad / left stick	Move between keys
A	Press the highlighted key
B	Close (in Homebase: cancel)
X	Backspace
Y	Space
LB	Shift (one letter, then back to lowercase)
RB	Letters / symbols
Start (Menu)	Enter / Done

The bottom row has &123 (symbols), .com, Paste, Space, Backspace and Enter (Done in Homebase). Paste types whatever text is on the Windows clipboard, handy for long addresses and codes.

With a real keyboard

In Homebase's own fields you can simply type. Ctrl+V / Shift+Insert paste, Ctrl+C copies, Ctrl+X cuts, Ctrl+Backspace deletes a word, Enter finishes and Esc cancels. Arrow keys move across the on-screen keys if you'd rather use them.

Limits

The pop-up relies on apps reporting their text boxes to Windows (UI Automation). Browsers and most modern apps do; some games and older programs don't. View opens the keyboard manually in those cases.
