Add JavaScript hooks when text input is enabled/disabled. This allows love.keyboard.setTextInput(true) to trigger mobile keyboards on iOS/Android browsers. JavaScript implementation in love.js handles the browser security requirement for synchronous focus during touch events. Usage: Call love.keyboard.setTextInput(true) in your game and the mobile keyboard will appear when user taps the canvas.

Add JavaScript hooks when text input is enabled/disabled.
This allows love.keyboard.setTextInput(true) to trigger mobile keyboards on iOS/Android browsers.
JavaScript implementation in love.js handles the browser security requirement for synchronous focus during touch events.
Usage
Call
love.keyboard.setTextInput(true)in your game and the mobile keyboard will appear when user taps the canvas.Implementation
Adds Emscripten-specific hooks in Keyboard::setTextInput() that call:
window.SDL_StartTextInput()when text input is enabledwindow.SDL_StopTextInput()when text input is disabledThe JavaScript side (in love.js PR love2d#112) handles the actual keyboard activation with a two-phase approach to satisfy browser security requirements.
