Yep, this can be found via insets: https://chrisbanes.github.io/accompanist/insets/

@Shakil Karim query for you - why did you expect this API to be part of BasicTextField and what shape did you expect?

@Sean McQuillan [G] So that, i don't have to use another Dependency just to know if keyboard is visible i guess 😁.

Oh sorry missed reply. That makes sense. Sadly, I think insets is the best source of truth we can get at right now (with backwards compatibility guarantees) so exposing a boolean isKeyboardShown is not a guarantee we can actually meet. It's something we discussed adding an API for with https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/1593054 and will make a note that you expected to find this API as it continues to iterate.
