webOS (Palm Pre): Cannot enter parens in command prompt about jsconsole HOT 5 CLOSED

Possible workaround:

instead of using shift + keys to move through history... why not shift + click/tap?

from jsconsole.

Not viable, because not all mobile devices allow you to hold the shift key whilst tapping.

It needs to be fixed by fixing the mappings. I'll put up a keycode test page to collect some data to trying to find and fix the source of the problem.

If you look at the source code now, there's already a (hack) work around for the iPhone because ..... actually, I think it's a mobile webkit thing - the iPhone also maps '(' to up and '&' to down.

I'll check the userAgent for mobile webkit and see if I can fix it there...

from jsconsole.

What about possibly just using click/tap?

from jsconsole.

Got a fix in progress. There's a keyIdentifier on the event that gives me the correct character, even though the mobile webkit is giving me the wrong event.which, but event.keyIdentifier does give me the right code. So I'm fixing now!

from jsconsole.
