TMP input field does not bring up the new Keyboard
available in future release
lLavy
After playing around with InputFields for a simple text chat prefab, they seem to have many, MANY issues with them. The most jarring so far being that TMP InputFields don't bring up the keyboard unless the "Y" Key is pressed, and said keyboard just doesn't work with them.
Here's a little example just in case, Right is the normal InputField, Left is the TMP InputField
Alternatively, Please allow us to use TMP through the URL InputField > https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/add-tmp-variant-for-vrc-url-input-field

Right now, only the legacy InputField can open the VRC Keyboard. Unity 2022 consider non TMP InputField as legacy. It should be posible to allow the TMP version to open it. Aditionaly, expose it to udon, only the legacy one can read/write it, but not for TMP version.

TMP InputField is not available

InputField in TMP format is not available in VRChat.
- Create a Canvas and change it to World Space.
2.Add Box Collider and VRC Ui Shape, and adjust the size.
Add TextMesh Pro InputFiled to Canvas. (For comparison, also add InputFiled of Legacy)
4.Test Build and confirm that the TMP InputField does not produce a virtual keyboard when you try to operate it. (This is similar to the behavior when adding VRCInputFieldKeyboardOverride with override, but it does not highlight when trying to select text.)

Oh yeah, when i tried with TMP input field, i notice something is weird, the VRC keyboard doesn't pop up.
When changed to standard Text Inputfield, keyboard popup correctly.
This is missing feature/support because we use a lot TMP in VRC worlds, but why not let it toggle keyboard?
Should added, and i noticed the problem is not fixed after one year, the post date is 2022!
Question is for VRC devs: please tell us it's possible or not.
