Send data in cell

[JhanaPF]

Hi,

Very nice library !

I'm actually using it with a langugage with symbols not on keyboard, so I added input with those new characters but don't know how to pass them to a cell.

Any way ? I tried to look in the package but it is Typescript and I don't know it very well.

Thanks.

I'm not sure I completely understand your issue. Are you creating puzzles where the answers aren't easily typeable? For instance, do they include accented (or non-English) characters, or emojis?

Without understanding exactly what you're trying to achieve, it's hard to be certain... but I suspect there will be a fundamental difficulty with any answers that a player cannot type. That said, keep in mind that many characters can be typed with an on-screen keyboard. Unfortunately, many players won't know how to bring up an on-screen keyboard unless that's something they do on a regular basis.

If you want to do something like provide buttons on your page that act like typing, the setGuess() imperative exposed by Crossword (and CrosswordProvider) might help. As it is currently implemented, however, it requires that you pass in the row/column to set the guess for, and calls .toUpperCase() on the passed-in guess string.

Hi - I wanted to weigh in and say I seem to have a similar need to @JhanaPF.

I'm making a Crossword puzzle app for a language which uses a lot of grave accent marks - À, È, Ì, Ò, Ù.

I'd like to provide 5 on-screen buttons so the user can enter those characters, without having to type them. This can be accomplished through setGuess(), but as you mentioned it requires the row/column to be known.

One thing that could empower this is if we had a getFocussedCell() or onCellFocus(), which would allow complete knowledge of which cell is currently selected by the user.

I'm having an issue where the crossword isn't taking in my inputs as well out of the blue.
