virtualkeyboardpolicy

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The virtualkeyboardpolicy global attribute is an enumerated attribute. When specified on an element that also uses the contenteditable attribute, it controls the on-screen virtual keyboard behavior on devices such as tablets, mobile phones, or other devices where a hardware keyboard may not be available.

The attribute must take one of the following values:

  • auto or an empty string, which automatically shows the virtual keyboard when the element is focused or tapped.
  • manual, which decouples focus and tap on the element from the virtual keyboard's state.
