In a TextField HOME and END keys do not work on platform Windows #76121
Description
Steps to Reproduce
When pressing physical keyboard keys HOME or END in a TextField on platform Windows, the cursor does not move anywhere.
Consider this example
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Text Edit',
home: _TextFieldExample(),
);
}
}
class _TextFieldExample extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_TextFieldExampleState createState() => _TextFieldExampleState();
}
class _TextFieldExampleState extends State<_TextFieldExample> {
final FocusNode _focusNode = FocusNode();
final TextEditingController _textController = TextEditingController();
@override
void dispose() {
_focusNode.dispose();
_textController.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Text Test'),
),
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: [
SizedBox(
width: 400,
child: TextField(
controller: _textController,
focusNode: _focusNode,
decoration: InputDecoration(
hintText: 'Write something, then press HOME and END key',
border: const OutlineInputBorder(),
),
),
),
],
),
),
);
}
}Expected results
- HOME pressed -> Expect: Cursor moves to first char position when there is some text in the field.
- END pressed -> Expect: Cursor moves to last char position when there is some text in the field.
Actual results
- HOME pressed -> Actual: Cursor does not move anywhere.
- END pressed -> Actual: Cursor does not move anywhere.
Tested on
Platform WINDOWS
Channel master, 1.27.0-2.0.pre.103 : FAIL
Channel dev, 1.27.0-1.0.pre : FAIL
Platform WEB
Channel master, 1.27.0-2.0.pre.103 : OK
Channel dev, 1.27.0-1.0.pre : OK
Channel beta, 1.26.0-17.5.pre: OK
Works OK on Web, but FAILS on Windows.
This issue should also be tested on platforms macOS and Linux to ensure it does not appear on them as well.
EDIT:
Based on Twitter feedback it works OK on macOS: https://twitter.com/tomgilder/status/1361730262791557121?s=20
Disclaimer
Platform Windows is not ready and only on dev channel (alpha), but as it moves closer to being more ready, issues like these will eventually need to be resolved.
