vrCurlInputField.activateInputField ()
breaks various shortcut keys in VRChat. Mute button (V) and Quick Menu (R) will not work in desktop mode. Pressing in VR mode, the mute button (B button) and quick menu (press and hold B button) will not function. This bug seems to have been investigated in 2022.4.1p2 (build 1260)
.When
vrCurlInputField.activateInputField ()
is executed, various VRChat shortcut keys are broken. The mute button (V) and quick menu (R) will not work in desktop mode. Similarly, the mute button (B button) and quick menu (hold down the B button) will not function in VR mode. This bug appears to have started with 2022.4.1p2 (build 1260)

This was done intentionally because if you are activating an input field it is supposed to capture your keys. Doing this allows you to more cleanly type into an inputfield without triggering accidental inputs. Is there some situation where this behavior is not desired?

Phasedragon: What follows is a world though free public video playback asset.

This asset allows you to easily paste the video URL from the clipboard using the right control key + V key. To achieve this behavior, we use
ActivateInputField()
to force the input field to be active. Also, once you call ActivateInputField()
, the mute button and quick menu buttons will not work after calling DeactivateInputField()
. If there is a way to correctly deactivate the active state, it would be a good behavior as it would prevent triggering incorrect input.Phasedragon
ikuko: I'm not sure how to reproduce this issue. I cannot see where in this world it does ActivateInputField. Additionally, in my own worlds, calling DeactivateInputField has correctly released the input.
Regardless, VRChat has solved this issue by making a keyboard pop up when you click on an inputfield. That keyboard has a paste button on the bottom right. So whatever that world is doing is unnecessary because you no longer need to use ctrl + V to paste in VR.

Phasedragon: Thanks for the detailed verification. I have verified it again at my end and found that there are conditions under which it occurs. I have prepared a compact verification world below.
This world uses Udon to call
ActivateInputField()
when the top button is clicked or the right control key is pressed and DeactivateInputField()
when the bottom button is clicked or the right control key is released. when the bottom button is clicked or the right control key is released. What I want you to see is that the behavior was fine when the button was operated by a click. If the right control key was DeactivateInputField()
when operated, it did not work correctly. Please check the attached code implemented by UdonSharp.[AddComponentMenu("")]
