Description

Preliminary checks

Describe the problem requiring a solution

Currently, on-screen keyboard window on mobile/touch devices contains only one-line text input box with limited length, which is useful for short names (savegame, map, hero, castle name etc.). However, this makes entering longer texts, such as event / description / rumor text troublesome since after a couple of words the entered text gets not visible.

Describe the possible solution

Another version of on-screen keyboard with multi-line input box could be implemented in the editor.

Additional info

v1.1.0 on Android 5.1.1

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing on screen keyboard code in the editor, understand the single line input widget structure, and design a multi line input variant with text wrapping and scrolling. Look for reusable UI components and rendering utilities.
