Need help for a Macro - Enable/Disable On-Screen keyboard

[TimotheeM]

Hey guys,

I've tried several things, but i can't seem to write a macro or do the correct steps, to enable/disable the On-Screen keyboard.
I'm using a tablet and i would like to disable the on-screen keyboard permanently (System - Language & Input - Physical Keyboard - Use On-screen Keyboard) and have a button (like long-press Volume -) to enable the keyboard is really necessary.
Being able to disable it again, would also be needed of course.

Does anyone has an idea?

Kindly,
Timo

If it's a system feature, you should be able to use the "System Setting" action in MacroDroid to control its enable/disable

Try to create a macro like this to view its setting information.

Hi,

I have to admit, you kinda lost me there. When i tried your action, it asked me lots of more information.
It's a feature of the tablet, because i can find it here: (System - Language & Input - Physical Keyboard - Use On-screen Keyboard)

I'm trying this:
Trigger: Long Press Volume +
Action: ?
Constraints: None

I've tried for the action: "Prompt Keyboard", but it prompts me:"Choose Input Method". Which is off course not what i'm searching for.
I'd like the action to be: Disable/Ensable On-screen Keyboard.

You should try to use UI Interaction action. Don't forget to include a delay (Wait action) between each action.

Yes tnx! That's what i wanted to use, but i don't seem to understand how it works.
Any tips/examples?

It is basically made to mimic finger press on the screen. The most common way to do that is to indicate the (x,y) coordinates of the point you want to reach on the screen.

It doesn't work with all the apps, mainly with games.

What if you have to scroll?

You should use Gesture option. I never used it but it's supposed to work...
