Occulus Quest - Input.GetKeyDown() not firing when TMPInputField is active

Unity Engine
1

Hey everyone,

I’m developing a VR App for Occulus Quest, using a Keyboard connected over Bluetooth.
The user writes into a TMPInputField, which is activated via script:

public TMP_InputField inputField;
...
inputField.ActivateInputField();

Simultaniously, I would like to use Input.GetKeyDown() to keep track of every key on the keyboard. This works fine when I run my project in the editor - I can type into the InputField, and the Input.GetKeyDown() events are being fired.

However, running the same code on my Occulus Quest does not work - when the InputField is focused, I can type into it, but no events are being fired.
I verifyed this by using inputField.DeactivateInputField(); - and the events are being fired.

I could imagine developing a workaround for this by manually editing the inputField.text for every key being pressed - seems kinda brute force though.

Am I missing something basic or is this a bug (Occulus Quest Bluetooth device support still being an experimental feature) ?

Thank you for your time :slight_smile:

Did you ever figure this out? I am currently trying to figure out why e.g. UnityEngine.Input.GetKeyDown does not seem to be working with the system keyboard on the Oculus Quest 2, also while focused on a UIElements.TextField which I think has a TextMeshPro InputField actually handling the input.
