    I am now addressing the input field bug in the rewrite of our UI for http://blocksworld.com.

    I have used

    #if !UNITY_EDITOR && UNITY_WEBGL
    WebGLInput.captureAllKeyboardInput = false;
    #endif

    Unfortunately - It seems canvas is not designed to be programmatically focused. I don't want to force my users to click - the captureAllKeyboardInput = true worked well - except for killing our search field.

    Does keyboardlisteningelement still have support?

    Thank you.

    Possibly, you could reenable WebGLInput.captureAllKeyboardInput as soon as the user is done with the search field?

    Thank you for your consideration.

    I'll expose a toggle to the javascript to enable/disable input and then I can control it based on the UI state.
