Mobile read only mode does not work properly

[kausar007]

As part of #704 the change was implemented but it seems to switch back to edit mode on mobile devices.

Switching between pages and going tapping on Home brings back the virtual keyboard. Shouldnt it be in read only mode until we only tap on the edit button again?

Also looks like the button itself is not synced with state. Its gray at first, when you tap on it, it turns slightly blue showing its on. But if you tap on it again, it stays blue again.

Just to add, I've noticed this in Chrome on Android - cursor appears even in read mode, though from what I can tell changes aren't synced to the server. This also happens on the "forced" read-only 📌 tag pages, and then if SB is in edit mode any changes made to the page are synced to the server creating a file named 📌 tag.

On Firefox (still on Android) the read-only mode works correctly, cursor never appears on tag pages and doesn't appear on other pages either unless SB is in edit mode.

Closing this, since this feature is not currently available in v2 anymore

Hi!
Are there any plans to bring this feature back for v2? I have not found it on the current roadmap.
It would be very nice for mobile usage as having the keyboard pop up constantly gets annoying fast.

Might not be an exact replacement (I don't remember what the above did exactly), but to get a switchbutton to change between readonly and edit mode, which can be set to work only on mobile, can be achieved:

You may have to experiment a bit with the order of the comamnds to get readonly at startup, however.
But as far as I can see, as soon I switch to readonly, I can jump between pages without getting the keyboard or being able to change the texts.

This will work with v2 only.

thanks for the input @zeus-web , this helped me find the
https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/blob/main/Library/Std/Action%20Button.md

which works just fine for my use case it's fine for me to have to set it manually for now!
