Common UI Input ignores Arrow Keys

[DarkFeenix]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on a 5.6.1 project using Common UI.
The problem is, whenever I move the mouse, the arrow keys to navigate my widget while in keyboard and mouse mode, are ignored. I know the developers said that this was intentional, but I’m trying to bypass this. Is there any way I could do that?
I tried everything in my book, including a Udemy tutorial where the teacher keeps ghosting my questions, I’m desperate.

Edit: I’m using C++ as well as Blueprints, so any workaround using C++ is more than welcome!

HI @DarkFeenix ,
Have you tried the solutions mentioned in those posts? One of them might help with what you’re trying to achieve.

Common UI and Keyboard ONLY, no Mouse

Btw in case anyone wants to support mouse also, I found a solution and verified it works in production Mostly when you click outside any widget, Viewport receives focus thats not what we want, to prevent such behavior: Create button class inherited from UCommonButtonBase with NativeOnFocusChanging // UBBaseCommonButton.cpp class BOGATYR_API UBBaseCommonButton : public UCommonButtonBase, public IUserObjectListEntry { GENERATED_BODY() public: #if PLATFORM_DESKTOP || WITH_EDITOR virtual …

Hello everyone, I’m currently doing a menu for my game, and the menu should be navigable with the mouse, controller, and keyboard. If I click outside of the button with my mouse, the focus is lost, and the keyboard and the Controller don’t work anymore. I tried the visibility and input mode only UI trick, but it does not seem to work now ( I saw another recent video with the guy saying that he could not make that work too). I tested other ways of doing that, but they are not clean and do not sat…

Hope it helps!

Hi @BRGEzedeRocco thank you for the reply and sorry for the delay. Since this post i’ve decided to create my own C++ plugin and solved a bunch of issues that Common UI had with my very specific needs. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience. If I ever manage to ship my game, I will make it available for everyone, (it’s called PlugAndDev, and won’t come out before a year or so, looking forward to help other devs in need).
