Do you mind sharing a video of the issue? I’m unable to reproduce it.

Hi Filip

Very sorry for the late reply. I had a lot on my plate, but fortunately, Anytype was there to keep me organized. ; )

I went to prepare a video for you, but it looks like the issue is fixed. I no longer have the problem. I wonder if it was an issue on my end.

Hey, I came across the issue again. I am in a template edit now and my arrow keys don’t move the cursor. In the video I click on the title and try to move between letters and the cursor stays still.

Could you please write what you were doing before opening this template, something is hijacking keyboard events.

IAMSPARTACUS · February 12, 2025, 7:07pm

I was creating a collection and updating a template for that collection. Apologies for the late reply.

Yes, thank you, there is such weird problem that after editing template keyboard stops working, but I’m still looking into it and can’t find the cause.

Hi Razor. Really sorry for the late reply, but I have noticed it is still occurring in editing a template, but I also noticed it happened in a collection after editing the title of a page (page is using the edited template). The video shows the arrows do not move the cursor when editing the title in the collection or after opening the object.

Thank you!
