Is there a way to get a callback one the keyboard when someone presses the button which minimizes hides the keyboard I wanted to clear focus as they click that button but can t seem to find a way to do it

The context of this actually is that I have a TextField in a movableContentOf lambda which I move to one place if the keyboard is open and another place if the kayboard is closed What happens is that when I close the keyboard the textfield gets moved it s put in the new position and the keyboard appears again since I suppose it looks like it s a new TextField composable which has focus so it opens the keyboard again flipping what I was trying to do initially So basically I am stuck to the open keyboard state as every time I close it it auto opens again

I d be a bit cautious when starting to drive more complicated logic that isn t just spacing related with the insets APIs and `isImeVisible` If a user is using a hardware keyboard they can still be editing a text field even if the software keyboard isn t visible And if you re in multi window mode there s no guarantee that your app s window overlaps with the software keyboard

In this case I wanted to have 1 style of the UI if the keyboard was open and another if it was not open If they were using hardware keyboard then no problem it d always be that 1 version of the UI and I wouldn t change it And that version of the UI can definitely support editing the text field hence I was using MovableContent in order to show that same text field in both of these scenarios For now I went around this issue altogether as I explain in <https kotlinlang slack com archives CJLTWPH7S p1685014472450459 thread ts=1684966600 331449 amp cid=CJLTWPH7S|this thread > even if it s not 100 correct either but eh so I am going around this issue but besides that having a TextField being inside a MovableContent and as it moves from one place to another the fact that the keyboard shows up automatically was quite tricky I am sure this also breaks other cases where folks are using TextFields + MovableContent

Agreed `movableContentOf` should just move things without side effects from moving looks like that abstraction is leaking a bit here Definitely report a bug with a minimal repro of that if you can

Filed here with a super minimal repro here Feel free to move it to a more appropriate location this was the only one that mentioned runtime and movableContent is inside runtime so I figured this should be the right place
