Is there a way to detect that the user has closed the keyboard on

Maybe someone can point out an appropriate technique to solve my
problem. I have a card with one editable field on it. When I go to
that card currently the focus immediately go to that field and the
keyboard pops up. I would like the field to remain editable, but
only if it is selected by the user. I would like to be notified upon
completion.
It's an ancient problem that dates back to the origins of the engine.
The first object with traversalOn will get the focus. On Windows, where
buttons can be focused, the solution is to set a button to a lower layer
than the first field. On Mac, and apparently mobile (I haven't checked,)
that doesn't work.
One workaround is to add a short handler that removes the focus and send
it from a preOpenCard. It doesn't trigger right if you just add "focus
on nothing" to a pre- or openCard handler.
on preOpenCard
send "noSelect" to me in 1
end preOpenCard
on noSelect
focus on nothing
end noSelect
I haven't tried this on mobile yet, but that's how I do it in desktop
apps. On mobile the keyboard might pop up and disappear if the timing
isn't right. Let us know.
Another way to handle it is to set the field's traversalOn to false in
preOpenCard and then set it back to true on openCard. I've had mixed
results with that method, but you can try it:
on preOpenCard
set the traversalOn of fld 1 to false
end preOpenCard
on openCard
set the traversalOn of fld 1 to true
end openCard
