Hey guys, trying to figure out how to do something. I'm trying to get it so that the bottomBar is not visible when opening the soft keyboard. I've accomplished this sort of by only including imePadding() on the content of my scaffold and not on the whole scaffold, so that way the imePadding isn't applied to the bottomBar, however in the content of my scaffold I'm passing the innerPadding values from the Scaffold to my Column, so when the keyboard is open the padding for the bottomBar is still applied. I have two questions though, should I be hiding the bottomBar in this way, or would it be better to just do a check in bottomBar composable to check if the ime is visible and if not don't compose the bottomBar at all and if the original way I'm trying to target this is fine, how do I stop the padding from the bottomBar from being included on my Column? Do I just need to check if ime is visible and then choose not to apply the scaffolds innerPadding? I was under the impression I shouldn't do this since the warning about not using innerPadding from a Scaffold.

I’d recommend calling Modifier.consumedWindowInsets with your `Scaffold`’s innerPadding before you add the imePadding inside the Scaffold. That’ll reduce how much padding imePadding applies by precisely the amount of padding already applied by using the `Scaffold`’s innerPadding, so that you don’t get that amount double applied like you’re currently seeing.
