    Hello,

    Is there a known package or component in TextMEshPro able to handle text input with keyboard like TMP_InputField but without using any canvas. I don't want my text field to be in the UI, the gameobject with the text is in a 3D scene.

    Any advice appreciated !

    I've got the same question. I added the TextMeshPro input field to a TextMeshPro 3D gameobject. But that didn't do anything out of the box.

    It is not currently supported but has been requested in the past. I'll take a look at this when I have a chance.

    I'd love to know if any progress has been made on this! Unity's UI system is a bit of a performance nightmare, so I'm trying to avoid it at all costs.

    Is there any update on this? A feature like this would save a lot of people a lot of time...
