Text Input Methods

Text input behavior varies depending on the application mode.

## Exclusive Mode

Install **Sogou Input Method** on the rendering server. This allows the client to invoke Sogou for Chinese text input.

## Shared Mode

### PC

Directly use the client's physical keyboard to input text into the application.

### Mobile

**Virtual Keyboard**

Allows text input through a floating virtual text box. Type characters, then click **Send** to pass the text to the application.

Invoke it in one of two ways:
- Set the keyboard type to **Virtual** in the application's backend advanced settings.
- Tap the keyboard icon from the expanded control ball on the client.

> When the system language is set to Chinese, the virtual keyboard defaults to the Chinese input method. For English or Traditional Chinese, it defaults to English.

**System Keyboard**

Enable **System Keyboard** in the application backend's advanced settings. The system input method triggers automatically when the user focuses on an input field.

> **iOS:** Double-tap the text box to trigger the system keyboard.
