Key script execution

Safari on iOS or

Opera on Android tablets

Key scripts with Ctrl and Alt key combinations do not execute the associated key scripts. The built-in software keyboards in these devices do not have Ctrl nor Alt keys.

Alternative Solution

Modify your scripted shortcut key combinations to account for this known limitation of tablet device keyboards.

Invoking InTouch keyboard

Safari on iPad or

Opera on Android tablets

User input animations do not consistently start the Windows keyboard.

Alternative Solution

Configure the InTouch application to use the InTouch keyboard if this is an existing application. For new applications, the recommended solution is to use the device's built-in keyboard.

Browser address bar

Chrome on Android or

Chrome on iPad tablets

A browser address bar blocks the WindowViewer title bar and menu bar.

Alternative Solution

Upgrade to latest version of Google Chrome and use browser in Full Screen mode. Older versions of Google Chrome do not support Full Screen mode. Adjusting the browser to use a higher resolution may help to make the menu bar viewable.

Alternative Solution

Use different keyboard shortcuts.

Invoking InTouch keyboard

Safari on iPad or

Opera, Firefox, and Chrome on Android tablets

The InTouch keyboard shows at the center of the InTouch window, which can cause the keyboard to appear off of the screen.

Alternative Solution

Scroll to the center of the InTouch window using the browser scroll bars to access the InTouch keyboard if this happens. For new InTouch applications, the recommended solution is to use the device's built-in keyboard.

Playing sound files

Safari on iOS or

Internet Explorer version 11.0

Sound WAV files cannot be heard using the PlaySound() method in an InTouch script when the application is viewed with the Safari or Internet Explorer 11.0 web browsers.
