    Not interested.  Even if you are, which I HIGHLY doubt, you spent your EL career sharing with kingpin and others and macroing throughout it all.  You all burnt your bridges.  I have some nice honest playing to do now, so I suggest you and your friends not further waste my time. God knows I spent enough of it dealing with you all the last time.

    I tried trading with Raz as well.  I saw no pattern to what would be replaced.  I tried to trade him a toadstool and a conjurer cloak went into the trade window instead.  Augmented pants turned into a 5% shop coupon.  Female orc token turned into a ring of srm.  These are the last items in their respective storage sections but not all storage sections seem to have this problem.  I did not have trouble getting a grape to trade properly like raz did. 

    Could this be something to do with how storage is sorted?  (alphabetically vs. old way)

    The latest build  1.9.5p9-dev-20211114.1509:

    • Added "Keyboard" button to the left of the input field that toggles the on-screen keyboard.
    • Removed the inconsistent long-press-near-top keyboard activation but retained option to use EL logo.
    • Removed the console help that was not helping - the button should be discoverable.

     

    Love it!  It works perfectly and is very obvious.  Thank you so much.

    Yes, I use old behavior.  That explains that, as I get the same result Nogrod does when trying to do long press at the top.

     

    A button to toggle the keyboard that sits to the left of where the input text area is sounds great.  I was thinking as well that space along the HUD bottom and sides is already cramped.  I don't know if removing the long press and EL logo activation would be a good idea, as others might use them!  As far as I can tell, a lot of people use this client, just they don't post much, if at all.  The option is good!  And please don't remove the ability to enter text from main screen, that's necessary for things like fighting (can't go into console to type if you are fighting or you'll die).

     

    "...easy to remember once discovered."

    That's the biggest problem. There is no list in one place of how to do things, just scattered posts in various threads.  I guess with so many updates and ideas/suggestions, things are changing too often to do that, but it would be nice at some point.

     

    You've done a wonderful job on this.  Nothing I've said is ever meant as a complaint; just me trying to understand it and explain why I don't, to help anyone else who comes along who is not used to android as well.

     

    Thank you so much for your time and efforts and patience.  :)

    The active region for long-press is 3x the input hight.  So long pressing above or below will toggle the keyboard.  The menu you're getting is for the input text box.  I've tried so many things to make it easy and obvious to activate the keyboard.  The EL icon is the simplest and cleanest solution IMHO and that's why I've made it the default.  Unfortunate, people clearly do not want to use that.

     

    What if the input text box was always visible (like it is once there is some input) and you just touched that to open the keyboard?  It currently does not activate the keyboard when touched because that was too easily triggered by mistake.  If it was always visible, you could avoid it more easily.

     

    How about another icon for the keyboard somewhere else?  (Maybe make the EL icon a little smaller and put a keyboard one - that looks like a keyboard - below it?) I love the idea of an icon for toggling the keyboard but I always use the EL icon to get to EL forums, it's so clean and easy and quick.  Plus it is over a decade of habit :P  For anyone who is used to the pc client, it would never occur to us that the EL icon would be the keyboard.  But I could live without it, for sure. I would much rather the easy way to toggle the keyboard.

    Have you set the controls option to use independent cursor?  I've not being using that on Android but the mode is set to what ever is active when you enable the option and from then on it cannot be changed using the icon window icons - by design as you know having request it.  Without the right-click to change cursor for the window, the option may not be as usable on Android as for on the desktop.

     

    Yes, that's the problem. Thank you!  Didn't even think of the lack of right-click issue.  Sorry for wasting your time. :blush:

    You get help in the console when you login.  If you switch on the EL logo link you can press and hold near the top of the screen instead.  Again there is help in the console when you switch.  I've tried a lot of ways to make the keyboard work when it should and be easy to open.  I'd hoped people would notice the console help.

     

    I can see how to get the keyboard when in F1/console. I figured that out, also figured out why the text line is at the top (moving it back to bottom hides the line when the keyboard is up.) I did see that help.  However that doesn't help with bringing up the keyboard when not in console, which is necessary at times.  The EL icon is fine, I've always used it for EL site/forums link, but that's not crucial I guess.

    If anyone has edited files such as servers.lst, global_filters.txt, sound_warnings.txt, key.ini, etc (I'm sure there are others), make sure you make backups of these files before you start downloading stuff.  If you don't, and your files become overwritten, we can't help you get them back.  Make backup copies of ANYTHING you have tinkered with EVER.  Just to be safe, maybe make copies of your counters files too.

    Question for you all: when you are talking about getting a "black screen", do you mean the entire monitor goes black or just the EL window?  I ask because I've had a handful of times my entire monitor went black and chalked it up to monitor troubles but now I wonder...since it doesn't happen often but always when actively doing something in EL.  (I run dual monitors and it only happened on the one I was actively doing something in EL on so I just figured my monitor was going bad.  It hasn't happened in ages though.)
