Hi Lee,

Thanks for the report.
I’m currently working on making the native editor and the issue will be fixed:

I looked for this on various websites including youtube and solved it using to show up keyboard can be frustrating on iPhone. but don’t worry, there are several steps you can take to fix it:-
1. Specific app affected:- If the keyboard issue only occurs in one app, try reinstalling the app. Tap and hold the app icon, then tap “Delete App”. Confirm deletion and download the app again from the App Store.
2. Third-party keyboard:- If you use a third-party keyboard, try switching to the default Apple keyboard temporarily. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard and under “Keyboards”, disable the third-party keyboard and make sure “Apple Keyboard” is enabled.
3. Reset Keyboard Dictionary:- This can potentially fix issues caused by corrupted keyboard data. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary.

Thanks for sharing the tip, Jean.

This issue was originally due to a lack of mobile platform support in CodeMirror.
It should be solved in v5.

But the tip would be helpful if the software keyboard doesn’t show up on some devices.
