New extension: Mobile keyboard

Blocks that show the keyboard on mobile devices and get the users input without showing any sort of input modal.

THE THUMBNAIL:

THE BLOCKS:

THE POSSIBLE KEYBOARD TYPES:

NOTES:

This extension has only been tested out on a samsung galaxy A12 and a MediaTek TV, though it should show the keyboard on any device with an on-screen keyboard, and should get the users input without showing any sort of input modal on ALL devices (ie. if you run the 'show alphabetical keyboard' block on a computer, the 'typed text' monitor should be recording whatever you type untill you click the enter key).

We've updated the cover message.
See the notes section.

This extension looks cool, I haven't gotten to test it yet however one thing I notice the block pallete is the newline keyboard blocks, wouldn't those make sense in a drop-down with the other types of keyboards?

@NexusKitten
Done ✔️.
We had initially had them as separate blocks because they use two different javascript functions, but now we combined them into one block as it does make more sense that way.

Could you please also add it to the in-built extension gallery (here basically⤵️) as we couldn't figure out how to do it.

That's in scratch-gui, and I doubt he'll add it (as I think that gallery is for the highest-quality and most useful extensions).

@GarboMuffin
We will be making a few changes. Please don't merge this yet.

There is a button to mark "Ready for review" at the bottom of the page

[veggiecan0419]

@GarboMuffin, can we disable ESlint on SVG images? (Because it keeps complaining about the ratio not being EXACTLY 300×600px)

[GarboMuffin]

The aspect ratio must be exactly 2. I deal with that error if you do not.

I wonder why force-pushing closed the PR?

[veggiecan0419]

@GarboMuffin , I think it should be ready to merge

[CubesterYT]

I wonder why force-pushing closed the PR?

@veggiecan0419, force pushing deletes the other branch to add the contents of the branch to the one you are force pushing it to. Deleting the branch causes the PR the PR was made with to be deleted as well.

[GarboMuffin]

hello sorry for delay, i've made some changes and tested them on an Android, do they seem good to you?

[GarboMuffin]

if it looks good to you then comment here; if it takes >24hrs to get merged after that then email [email protected] because your comment got lost in my notifications

[veggiecan0419]

@GarboMuffin

Yes, looks good 👍. A lot better than before.
Thanks a lot :)

[veggiecan0419]
