@mikael Thanks for your reactivity !

@mikael , I regularly use your modules and I thank you for it. Unfortunately, since the last version of ui3, I have an error when I want to use it.
Here is the Traceback :

Traceback (most recent call last):

@cvp Thanks a lot ! I’m happy to see that I progress slowly…
I had found textView().becomeFirstResponder() but couldn’t find to witch element it had to be applied. The _get_editor_tab is not documented ! To find it, do you open editor.py in the site-packages of Standard Library ?
It's very instructive 🤓, I'm going to end up managing on my own. 😉

@cvp I learn a lot adapting your scripts to my needs !
You will find after this message my/your script to add a keyboard icon in the titlebar to call my script to add my special key row to the keyboard.
The system is rather practical, but to make the handling as transparent as possible : when I add my key row, I hide the keyboard with tv.endEditing(True), and I would like to make it reappear with my special key row : but I’ve not found a command as simple as tv.startEditing 🙁 ; it’s perharps possible to simulate a touch in the TextView, but I neither can’t find a solution to do it 🥶
After several hours of searching, I throw in the towel and ask for help…🥵

Here is my scrolling special key row to replace the standard one.
This script is a mix between @cvpe's script AddButtonsToPythonistaKeyboard https://github.com/cvpe/Pythonista-scripts/blob/master/AddButtonsToPythonistaKeyboard.py
and my own work.
It uses module ui3.sfsymbol of @mikaelho https://github.com/mikaelho/ui3
Thanks for all their work for Pythonista's community.
It certainly contains errors as I am not an expert coder like the majority of you but it does work for me 😉
Feel free to improve and adapt it to your needs!

@cvp Thank’s a lot Magic cvp👏👏👏 🙏

@cvp Thanks a lot for your work. But my goal is to get a reduced row of keys as I think that the original one is to large for the small screen of my iPad mini 4. I regret that it’s not possible to assign the fonction to a normal ui button.

@cvp Please, how do you insert directly your pictures in comments ?

My new special key row !

The only solution I've found is to make my own special key row with the help of the cvp example ;-). It's quite easy for normal keys, but I don't find solution to implement the undo/redo key? Perhaps with objC ?

I have been using Pythonista occasionally for two years now. With the help of the forum and by rummaging through the web, I manage to make some nice little applications. However, I regularly come up against basic problems related to my lack of Python skills. This is the case today ;-)
I can't understand why my script doesn't work.
I just want to make a class of Buttons... but my title doesn't display.
My mistake must be stupid, but I can't find it!

import ui

class MyButton (ui.View):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):        
        self.btn = ui.Button()
        for name in kwargs.keys():
            value = kwargs[name]
            self.__setattr__(name, value)       
        self.add_subview(self.btn)  
                
    def __setattr__(self, name, value):     
        print(f'• setattr : {name} = {value}')      
        if name != 'btn':
            self.btn.__setattr__(name, value)           
        super().__setattr__(name, value)

if __name__ == '__main__':

    mainView = ui.View( name='MyButton Demo',
                        bg_color='lightgrey',
                        frame=(0, 0, 400, 400))
    
    myBtn = MyButton(   name='MyButton', 
                        title='Press me', 
                        width=200)
    
    myBtn.center = mainView.center
    myBtn.y = 200
    myBtn.background_color = 'red'
    myBtn.tint_color = 'white'
    
    mainView.add_subview(myBtn)

    mainView.present('sheet')

@mikael, Perfect 👏👏🙏👍
Thank you very much, I would find it hard to do without Scripter!

@mikael, Yes, I’ve updated Scripter (even uninstall and reinstall) and restarted Pythonista. And now… it works the first time, doesn’t the second and crash the third !

@mikael , unfortunately, the problem persists ! Do I need to reinstall something ?

@mikael , I’ve got a simular problem ! My animations with calls to scripter only works one time 😢. I need to restart Pythonista !
I take this opportunity to thank you for your fantastic modules. iPadOS 14.3 beta on iPad mini 4

Has someone found a solution ? 🥵 the problem appears quite all the time for me and it’s really difficult to type text in rhe reduced special key row - I’ve got an iPad mini and the keyboard is small ;-)

@cvp Perfect, it works for me 👍 always so impressive 👏

@mikael, this is not only a iPhone problem as it appears on my iPad mini 4 with both orientations : portrait and landscape.
It's a pity that there is no other solution than to use a fullscreen present mode as I only wanted to present a choice view with a tableView, never mind I will adapt !

I’ve not been using Pythonista for a long time, ios version have changed and now I have some problems with my scripts :
The first is that my keyboard loose the extra line at the top, but I’ve seen on the forum that I’m the only one ;-) the second (but my search on the forum does’nt help me to find a solution - my bad english is really a problem) is that now a view in sheet mode close when I slide down with one finger. I would like to block this process.
Thanks for a solution !

Merci beaucoup !
