Space not registered in the html textarea on iPad

See original GitHub issue

I have a codemirror instance that works fine on the desktop browser and nearly as good on the iPad Safari. The only quirk remaining is that the spaces aren’t getting registered on iOS. Nothing happens when the spacebar is pressed on the keyboard, though occasionally it scrolls up a little bit.

I’m using the htmlmixed mode. Any clues to where I should be looking?

I also meet this problem, it seems caused by the “contenteditable”, try to add the following css style textarea, [contenteditable] { -webkit-user-select: text; user-select: text; } I just make it work by doing this

This is one of many issues which are difficult to debug and solve with the fundamental approach currently taken by CodeMirror.

We are working on a rewrite (CodeMirror 6) that will overhaul input handling and should address this issue, and we are currently raising money for this work: See the announcement for more information about the rewrite and a demo.

Note that CodeMirror 6 is by no means stable or usable in production, yet. It is highly unlikely that we pick up this issue for CodeMirror 5, though.
