Vimium chrome plugin prevents text editing in web feature demo about egui HOT 6 CLOSED

Might be related, when I'm trying to edit text in the demo, pressing backspace causes the browser to go back in history. Firefox 81.0.2 on Mac 10.15.7

from egui.

Note this issue also prevents editing text on mobile. The browser can't tell you're in a text field so the keyboard never appears.

To be fair, I find quite a few sites (including google properties) break Vimium, and I usually just disable it for the site and move on. In general I have much less expectation for Vimium to work for web apps than for web documents, which is usually fine since apps often have more custom navigation and interaction.

Not saying there aren't still things that can be improved.

Is this still an issue?

I tried two things:

• In chrome w/ vimium, try pressing F (highlights links) with no text input having focus. As expected it found no links to click on. Then I opened the easymark editor and pressed F, and as desired it actually typed it! So main problem fixed. For accessibility it would be even better if pressing F without input focus actually highlighted the clickable GUI elements like it does on a regular web page, I assume this requires somehow tricking the browser into thinking there are links at these locations. But that should probably be its own issue?
• I opened the demo on my android phone, clicked the easy mark editor and confirmed keyboard pops up as expected! But then, strangely, my phone started reading outloud all the text in the editor with text-to-speech, which I've never configured or used. Not sure if that's egui or something weird with my phone.

Yeah, let's do that as it's own issue as it is quite separate from text input.

This is part of egui/eframe - you can toggle it at the bottom of the backend panel
