[1912] Separate keyboard and input field is annoying.
TummyTime
Having the input field and keyboard as separate things is an interesting choice.
I think it would be way better if the input field would be attached on top of the keyboard. Why? Right now when using the chat box for example, you get this huge bar in front of you that is the input field. Which you can't move. And you need to find a comfortable spot for the keyboard above or under it. Or you can move in space to get out of the input fields face a bit. It's needed since you need to have enough clearance for you to be able to hit the keyboard with your laser.
So, please connect them into one thing. You probably use both at the same time.

Another issue I've run into is accidentally clicking next to the keyboard and the keyboard closing itself. Then I have to click back on the input box, which usually puts the cursor at the second last position instead of at the end...
I also really miss having the numbers at the top on the main keyboard, I use those a lot

> type on keyboard that doesnt resemble a keyboard in terms of key pattern and has way too much space inbetween keys
> turn 90 degrees to the right, respawn chatbox/keyboard
> Keyboard suddenly in my right cheek, bring down infront of me
> turn another 90 degrees to the right, keyboard suddenly 10 feet away infront of me
> turn another 90 degrees, keyboard suddenly right infront of me, chatbox nowhere to be seen(behind the keyboard)
What the fuck who coded this? The whole UI overhaul thats been going on has been nothing but a travesty

Hopefully this is reverted ASAP. I cannot imagine what thought process resulted in this change.

From a laying/disabled perspective, this change has made things harder to access.

This needs to be reverted. I literally cannot speak to anyone anymore because I'm disabled and have to laydown. I either have to blindly type and accept whatever gibberish comes out of my text box, or force to be stood up so I can communicate with a friend.
You can't even search settings because VRChat still hasn't figured out that the keyboard needs to always be on top... INCLUDING THE KEYS. If the system hud is behind the keyboard (which it needs to be to search settings), then half the keyboard doesn't work because the contact points are BEHIND the system hud.
This is the worst UI change ever.

i beg you, revert the keyboard update or attach both windows into the same one, i've been using the keyboard daily since it first got released in 2022, and this new one is unbearable

Honestly they should of just left it alone. it was already a good keyboard that had everything there you normally need with a normal layout. I hate the smaller keyboard and having 2 pages to flip back and forth now if you want to use numbers or special characters its so stupid.

Playing it up a bit here. But there has been may times where I just want the keyboard a bit further away. And the input window doesn't let me have it where I want it.
