Redraw method is reposition the keyboard for custom layout

[Sritharan-racap]

Hi Mottie,
Firstly I would like to say this is an awesome library. I have small problem with keyboard design.

I am using multiple custom layout like Greek, Special characters etc. so i have to switch the layout on a constant basis, i am doing the switching using redraw event, but the new layout is repositioning itself below the input box which is annoying.

I know u have already exposing the position callback for reposition keyboard where I can do the keyboard repositioning beforeVisible.

Is there is shortcut boolean feature to stop the reposition of the keyboard on redraw ???

Hi @Sritharan-racap!

I'm out of the country right now with only my cell... I'm sorry you're having this issue. Sadly I won't be able to test or resolve this issue until I return next week. Thank you for your patience.

The redraw method still uses the reveal function which removes the current keyboard and creates a new keyboard with the new layout, so the keyboard would still need to be repositioned when it is made visible.

I just created this demo for issue #532 allowing you to switch layouts & language using an action key and the keyboard does not shift. So, it sounds like there might be another cause making the keyboard shift below the input.

Really, this is not the same behavior in my machine. Probably I am using an older version of the keyboard source code. But this was not a terrible issue. I just called the jquery position function before visible which u are already exposing and the function works like a charm.

Hey Mottie, this is an awesome library u have contributed to the community man. the keyboard looks really beautiful in super big screens in our office.

Kudos have a great day. I am closing this issue.
