Is virtual keyboard supported on Android/iOS?
If so, how can we trigger it?

It is supported by SDL, but it's not at this point exposed to the Urho engine or scripting API. I've not personally done digging into how it works.

Showing/hiding the keyboard was straightforward, and input was automatically routed from it as SDL events, so it was not much work to add support for it. Look in the Input & UI subsystems, UI will also show it by default on mobile devices when a LineEdit element is focused. Only tested on Android so far.

Amazing! Many thanks Lasse.

Tested on Android with the LineEdit from the console.
Everything works perfectly, except the 'delete' key (gets pressed OK but nothing happens).
Do you experience this either?

For me the delete key works.
