I also had some complications with text input on tablets (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-71). Therefore i created a menu (see attachment) in the Guacamole Client with a keyboard icon, which focuses on a 1x1px input field somewhere at the bottom of the screen. Although it is almost the same as the default text input of Guacamole; this tweak fixed all of my input problems, and it doesn't scale the screen anymore because i got rid of the black bar at the bottom of the screen.
You can try to do some of the same. ----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- Van: "Steve Karam" <oraclealchem...@gmail.com> Aan: user@guacamole.incubator.apache.org Verzonden: Donderdag 8 december 2016 21:40:39 Onderwerp: Re: Guacamole on a Tablet Hi Ray, With text input, Guacamole won’t really know whether the keyboard is needed or not at any particular time. There’s an input box, therefore the keyboard is there. I haven’t tried on an Android tablet, but on an iPad I will hide the keyboard when I don’t need it and it stays hidden until I tap the left corner of the input box at the bottom. I’m not sure why this isn’t happening for you on Android. > On Dec 8, 2016, at 3:25 PM, Ray Jantz <ray.ja...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am trying out Guacamole on an Android tablet and tried both input modes - > text input and on-screen keyboard.
