The feature of showing a popup with the list of users when you press ‘@’ is not working in my mobile device. I am using the last version of Chrome in an android device.
it was working last day so I thought it had to be something with the last version of the browser. I then tried my tablet and the feature WAS working before I updated Chrome. Afterwards I updated it with the last version and it is not working any more. I have been tinkering with the configuration of the browser but I was unsuccessful to make it work. I hope it is just a config option but please tell me what it can be.
My users are also expirencing this as well. I have tested on my own device and while it works in the default android browser it does not within chrome.
Chrome for android never handled the keypress event, we used to have a partial workaround in place, we never had a complete workaround/solution in place.
The simple answer is: It’s not going to happen. I tried several times using different concepts, and each introduces a set of problems that is “bigger” than than this issue.
If you’re thinking in terms of key-codes on a mobile platform, you’re limiting yourself. Mobile does swipes and voice-transcription and who knows what other kinds of input. Any attempt to rely upon key-codes is going to alienate some subset of your users.
I tried to get this working for a long time after it had generally been agreed that it was not going to work out well no matter how it was implemented. I held out hope because it seemed a good thing to do it at all feasible. I was eventually forced to agree that it is not.
Status: wontfix so we need to use a different key event.
