In the new webview demo plugin, if you run it in a host and interact with the gui in any way, the view will then start eating all key presses. So pressing spacebar no longer sends a play command to the host. It will instead either do nothing or reopen the dropdown menu in the gui.
Can anyone help me learn how to change this back to expected behavior for a plugin gui in a host?
i’ve personally had this happen with a lot of plugins, and as a producer my main instinct is to click back on the host window. Having keyboard shortcuts work inside plugins is a bit odd but welcome, especially when fine tuning sliders, but I can see how this would feel odd from a UX perspective.
IMO webviews are probbaly not the best option right now for designing a UI and I’ve found Figma, JKnobMan and c++ to be just as functional, althought it does take a little longer.
