Moving the keyboard

By dragging the black bar at the top of the keyboard, the display position can be changed as desired.
However, controls are in place so that the keyboard does not protrude beyond the web page (browser window)

Cursor control

Supports automatic or manual cursor movement between multiple text fields

  1. Automatic cursor movement
    • When inputting the specified maximum number of characters, the cursor automatically moves to the next field. (Will not move unless "Next" is specified)
    • If there are no characters, you can return to the previous field using the [Delete] key.
