TextMesh Pro How to make a TMP_InputField automatically be in editing mode?

Hey everyone!

I'm making a system where a popup can appear with an InputField, and I'd love for users to simply be able to begin typing without having to click or hit enter first.
I figured out that when I enable the object, I could simply call Select on the Field to make it the currently selected element, but this doesn't make it start input/edit mode unfortunately. I then did some more digging and tried things like calling ActivateInputField, calling Select a second time after calling ActivateInputField, and even tried to send a fake "enter" event with ProcessEvent and giving it a new Event with KeyCode.Return. I also tried calling ForceLabelUpdate.
None of these attempts seemed to do anything unfortunately, when the object is activated users still first need to hit enter or click the input field to begin editing text.
How do you do this?

 

So after a few more tries it turns out I can do this by first calling ActivateInputField, waiting a frame, and then calling Select. It doesn't seem to work if I do this within the same frame.

 

I believe I've done this with

inputField.OnPointerClick(new PointerEventData(EventSystem.current));

(using UnityEngine.EventSystems)
