After searching, I find a suggested method for having a numeric keyboard is to use numpad .

Can someone provide an example or more details on how to do this in template?
More specifically, I need this for the following question types:

1. Numerical Input question type
2. Multiple Numerical Input question type

All inputs are non-negative integers.

I think I understand the basics such as:

• Deactivate the included keypad
• Upload the .js and .css files for numpad to my template

But, I'm not sure of the Javascript code to place in 'template.js' to attach numpad to the question types above.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

In LS3 we removed the included keypad

In 2.73.1 you can remove the keypad via "General Settings & texts" under "Presentation & navigation" using the toggle button for "Show on-screen keyboard".

In LS3 you mention the keypad is removed. How do you get a keypad? Can you choose the type of keypad such as numeric vs. a full keypad based on the type of answers to a question (i.e. numeric vs. text)? Does this mean my problem is easily solvable in LS3?

Not sure how to get LS3. I'm using a paid subscription of Limesurvey from limesurvey.org. I don't see how to update to latest version (i.e. ComfortUpdate gives the error "It seems you're using a version coming from the LimeSurvey GitHub repository. You can't use ComfortUpdate."). I don't understand why the supplied version is 2.73.1 while the latest stable version is 3.6.1.

new installations on LSPro are using LS3
the update will be available very soon for older installations.

Do I have a choice of keypads (numeric only vs. full) under LS3?

the decision was taken to remove it because today most devices that need a virtual keyboard offer their own solution.

But if you can prove that it's really needed that LimeSurvey offer its own custom solution, we can put it back...
