I have known that if you hit enter it sends your message and if you use shift+enter it creates a new line.
Now earlier today it was working but for some reason I see the mobile send button that looks like a little paperplane and using enter merely creates a new line for me now.
Did I perhaps press a wrong button? Maybe there was an update? I am not sure yet.
I have just been given the URL https://wolfery.com/?console.mode=keyboard which seems to have resolved the symptom, but I have to wonder what was the cause.
No worries!
That type of console interface is meant for mobile users without a physical keyboard.
Unfortunately there are no fail-safe way to detect the existance of a physical keyboard. Instead I rely on detecting if you have a touch screen - or rather if you have (pointer: coarse) which often indicates a touch screen.
So, maybe you’ve installed some sort of pointer device that triggered it? Maybe a new screen with touch capabilities?
Anyway. As you’ve been informed, you can change the behavior with:
| URL | Behavior |
|---|---|
| https://wolfery.com/?console.mode=keyboard | Assume physical keyboard |
| https://wolfery.com/?console.mode=touch | Assume virtual keyboard |
| https://wolfery.com/?console.mode=auto | Default auto detect mode |
EDIT
You can also trigger this behavior if you activate the “Device toolbar” in the browser’s dev tools:
GASPS!!!
Oh, my greatness! This does make a bit more sense.
I’ve been using a temporary laptop for the last week and a bit. And it is indeed a touch-screen laptop.
And! Today I was experimenting with a browser cursor automation extension for Chrome. (Which I have hopefully removed now since it didn’t do what I wanted it to do)
The pieces are falling into place. Now, I just need to see how I can fool Wolfery into thinking I have a keyboard and not a touchscreen, hehe.
Thank you for the swift response!
@Accipiter can this be done as a setting? I noticed it’s impossible to use the keyboard mode on an iPad because you can’t add that console.mode to the bookmark.
Might be a dumb workaround but what about using a link shortener to achieve this.
Mmm. Yes. Yes it really should be a setting. And it shouldn’t be much work to add it either.
I’ve been deep down in custom commands. But I’ll make a “todo” for it and try to get it into next release.
