In native iOS Apps you can use UIKeyboardTypeTwitter
to display a keyboard that has #
and @
keys in default mode:
Is there any way to have such a keyboard in Safari? The Safari HTML Reference doesn't list it.
input[type="email"]
is close, but it adds a .
next to the @
button instead of a #
seems like a "tweet" type (or something more generically named) would be a useful addition to webkit, but I couldn't find any input types that trigger the UIKeyboardTypeTwitter
if there is an undocumented way to do it, mobile.twitter.com & m.facebook.com aren't using it:
mobile safari: mobile.twitter.com new tweet keyboard example
Seems like this would need escalated to a w3c request, although- Android doesn't appear to currently have a comparable keyboard mode.
Update: Filed as a webkit enhancement request: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156135
