I can not edit a file opened with the left sliding panel.

[CedCannes]

In Vim touch, when I open the sliding panel and choose a file , I can see the file contents but my virtual keyboard does not respond ( it appears good but press a button has no effect ) .
The shortcut menu responds well .
When I use a file browser to open a file, it asks me what application I want to use to open it, if I choose VimTouch there I can edit the file ( my keyboard responds )

I had the problem on my old galaxy S3 and my new OnePlus .

use tab key.

I have this problem as well on Galaxy S4 (Android 5.0.1 and 4.4.2)
From the moment I slide open the file sidebar, the keyboard does not function anymore
The only things that work are:

• The Quickbar
• The ESC and :q! buttons at the top

Switching to another app and then switching back to VimTouch does not resolve the issue, only by restarting the app I can get the keyboard working

When the Quickbar is at the bottom or the right, yunlongYoung's work-around will re-enable the keyboard.

When the Quickbar is at the top or the left, in addition to hitting the tab key, use the arrow keys to exit Quickbar and re-enable the keyboard.
