Bug 38622 – QGraphicsWebView and QWebView does not send QEvent::RequestSoftwareInputPanel when it gets the focusIn event.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebKit Qt

[Manish]

This feature will enable the launching of virtual keypad as soon as QGraphicsWebView and QWebView gets the focus and the focused item is a editing field. Can be useful in below cases:-
1) Lets say we are in an application with input software panel (virtual keyboard) launched and we are editing something. While editing something i switched to some other application and after a while i switch back to the previous application (where virtual keyboard was launced), what i expect is virtual keyboard launches back. But it is not happening since QEvent::RequestSoftwareInputPanel is not sent by QGraphicsWebView and QWebView in focusIn event.

2) setting focus programmatically (QGraphicsWebView::setFocus QWebView::setFocus ) should send QEvent::RequestSoftwareInputPanel if the focused item inside the web page is an editing field.

I think this is a important to have for better expereince.

I am not sure we need to do it this way. Some webpages have focus on the editing field from start. For example - google.com. We do not want virtual keyboard to come up by default every time we open such page.
