How do I disable this keyboard? It's very annoying.

edit: to clarify, I know you can avoid it by pressing enter rather than clicking on it. I want to be able to click on it without the OSK coming up.

To my knowledge, the only way to disable that is by disabling the mouse in menus (m_use_mouse 0), unless you use the "press Enter" workaround.

Set m_showinputgrid CVAR to -1.

That's certainly not required. My mouse is not disabled in the menus and I didn't even realise that keyboard existed. :shock:

I stand corrected in that case.

It might be a good idea to update the wiki entry on it, then. If three values for it are accepted, it shouldn't even be noted as boolean.

I just started GZDoom and typed m_noinputgrid at the console. It reported the value as 0. I changed it to 1 and got the grid. I changed to back to 0 and no longer got the grid. I also tried -1 and still no grid. I am wondering why is -1 recommended?

You need to use mouse or controller to get the grid when CVAR is zero. -1 disables it completely.

Ah, right, I see it now. With it set at 0, if I actually use the mouse to click on the save name, the keyboard pops up. If I just do it using the enter key, the keyboard does not pop up (even though I could have used the mouse if I'd wanted, and thereby have gotten the keyboard). -1 does indeed stop it entirely.

I think the documentation is older than the 'completely off' option. With the old menu code there was no mouse so there was no need to switch this off with the mouse enabled.

Trying to update the wiki, is this correct for the various modes?
  • -1 - Disables the display of the grid.
  • 0 - Displays the grid only if a controller, such as a mouse or gamepad, is used.
  • 1 - Always displays the grid.

Yes, just one or greater in the last case.

For 0 is should read 'enable only', not 'disable only'.
