Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice from anyone who has experience building UIs with uibuilder in a Linux environment. I’m running Node-RED in kiosk mode and need to support user input, but I’m having trouble getting the on-screen keyboard to appear.
Has anyone run into this before or have recommendations on how to get a virtual keyboard working?
Thanks!

What device type are you using to access the UI?
I don't do a lot of mobile stuff myself but I think you just need to add a suitable hint on the input element. e.g.
```html
```
