Typing on chat with a keyboard needs to be simplified on the Nintendo Switch

[(NSW)Cion]

Whenever you you need to chat. You have to hit the Y button while you're in your Orbiter and then the entire Switch keyboard UI comes up which halts everything. You can't even see the in-game chat so chances are you would be responding to someone late.

This becomes much more unbearable whenever you're in a mission and you have first pause THEN press Y to chat.

So my solution is to first give you an example which is Monster Hunter Rise and how it handles chatting with a keyboard. First off whenever you hit Enter on a USB keyboard, it opens up the chat and allows you to freely type without halting gameplay. There is also another way to type without a USB keyboard using the Switch keyboard by pressing the - button twice which opens up the Switch keyboard. Sure it takes up most of the screen, but it doesn't forcefully halt gameplay.

So my solution is this:

-Enable chatting with USB Keyboard typing whenever you hit Enter on it WITHOUT the need to open up Switch Keyboard UI.

-For those playing portable, have them enable chat with a tap on the chat bar which opens up like a mini verison of the Switch Keyboard.

-Have it so opening the Switch Keyboard does not halt gameplay.

this would be great, but i feel like it may be hard to do programming wise due to how the chat seems to be setup.

but if they can do it i am 100% up for that.

even on the xbox xs the keyboard just randomly stops working and it's only with warframe.
