How can I show the keyboard while a context menu is open? - ios

Question

When opening a context menu, the keyboard disappears and the active textfield will become unfocused. Is there a way to keep the keyboard open and the active textfield focused?
This short example demonstrates the issue:
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var text: String = ""
var body: some View {
TextField(
"Enter text",
text: $text
)

Button(action: {
print("Hello")
}) {
Text("Hello")
}
}
}
}

You need to put FocusState in a onAppear inside of a DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5) {}
This solves the problem:
struct ContentView: View {
#FocusState private var focusOn: Bool
#State private var text = ""
var body: some View {
TextField("Enter text", text: $text)
.disableAutocorrection(true)
.keyboardType(.default)
.focused($focusOn)
.padding()
.contextMenu {
Button {
print("Hello")
} label: { Text("Hello") }
}
.onAppear {
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5) {
focusOn = true
}
}
.submitLabel(.go)
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .keyboard) {
Button { hideKeyboard() } label: {
Image(systemName: "keyboard.chevron.compact.down")
.padding()
}
}
}
}
public func hideKeyboard() {
UIApplication.shared.sendAction(#selector(UIResponder.resignFirstResponder), to: nil, from: nil, for: nil)
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
