How to allow in VR, keyboard input?

Hi!

Im using VR-template i UE 5.0 and i want to allow the user to copy and paste into a widget with keyboard.

I have a widget with a editable text that i want to allow the user to paste in a URL from a browser. But i cant figure out how to allow in VR to enable keyboard and to allow the mouse
to go to other windows(browser) when the project/game is going.

I have tried the widget in first person template and it works well there. Now i need to basicly enable ctrl+v for the user in VR. Or bind it to a paste button / another key.

I have tried to google around but dont find annything related to what im trying.

Would be appreciated if anyone has suggestions/ answers.

Hey, Have you been able to find a solution for this? I am attempting to do something similar. Thanks :slight_smile:

in vr there is no physical keyboard to hit ctrl+v so a paste button is the normal workaround. on the button clicked event read the clipboard as a string and call SetText on your editable text box with it, that drops the copied url straight into the field without any keyboard focus hacks. check the clipboard has text first so you dont blank the box when its empty. you can also try Runtime Clipboard Utility, a free clipboard plugin for Unreal Engine that adds paste and copy text nodes for exactly this kind of vr paste button: Runtime Clipboard Utility — Free Copy & Paste Text Nodes for Blueprints (UE5) | Fab
