Homebrew Question Keyboard

[Roger66681]

Hello Switch Homebrew community, I need help...I'm currently working on a new HB application for the switch, and I was wondering if anyone knows how to call apon the switch's on screen keyboard, what statement I would use/source code? Or am I going to have to build one from scratch? Would love feedback thx!

If it's not in libnx yet, then it probably hasn't been figured out yet.

I don't think you can call any Horizon applets from within homebrew, honestly. This not only includes the aforementioned keyboard, but also on-screen error dialogs (like the ones you see when, for example, Internet connections fail), webpages, and save-data loading.

LibNX does not support it, as said earlier, but if i were you I would ask in the Reswitched Discord, they can presumably help out

For now you should create a "fake keyboard" in the app, thats the only workaround I can think of.

Hmm...I guess I better get started on the keyboard then since I know its doable with C++, just a bit of extra work...thx for the feedback!!
