This action opens a seperate page where the user can input text using the default keyboard. This could be the system software keyboard, an Orca software keyboard or a hardware keyboard. You can specify this in the settings dialog. The result of the input (the string entered) will be stored in a given variable name for usage in other functions. It is recommended to used the "TEXTINPUT" widget for user input, instead of calling this action directly

<action name="Opens a input popup" string="showinputfield" varname="myinput" />
