Text Field prevent losing focus when tapping anywhere on the chat

[Davenzo]

When tapping outside the TextField it loses focus and the keyboard is dismissed. It would be good if this was settable as I want users to be able to copy a message text or select it without the keyboard closing like it works on Telegram.

Can I get a feedback about this? Thanks

I don't add new features to v1 so I keep this opened to implement in v2, no timeline unfortunately. If this is pressing I suggest a fork for now.

I have a question about v2 and controlling the chat input focus. I'm using dev five, and I don't see focusNode supported. Am I missing something? I have limited experience with Flutter, so please point me in the right direction.

I have opened an issue (bug) report. Also, I have working code that I can check-in or provide to you. Let me know.
