Key Return Press event for Virtual Keyboard

Priyanka kotian

I have created a custom layouts for Virtual Keyboard. I have a KeyboardLayout inside which i have KeyRow and then Keys. On click on the Key, we have to send a sendKeyClick event with the Key text and the modifier. I am using the InputContext.sendKeyClick(key,text) method. But it throws the error "InputContext::sendKeyClick(): no focus to send key click""- QGuiApplication::focusWindow() is: application Window?

The Focus is on the TextField.

Have same bug with regular Qt Virtual KeyBoard.

qt.virtualkeyboard: InputContext::sendKeyClick(): no focus to send key click - QGuiApplication::focusWindow() is: QWidgetWindow(0x493c910, name="MainWindowWindow")

Bug happen unpredictable in TextArea. Seems old bug and related to this one: https://forum.qt.io/post/594592

however Qt not going to fix it:

Found the solution. Following workaround works for me:

TextArea {
    onActiveFocusChanged: {
        if(activeFocus) {
            Qt.inputMethod.update(Qt.ImQueryInput)
        }
    }
}

Works with other controls as well.
