Description
Editor developers want to be able to place a toolbar (likely at the bottom of the page, near the user's thumb). However, when the VirtualKeyboard is shown the toolbar is covered.
There's a solution for this, supported on Android already:
<meta name="viewport" content="interactive-widget=resizes-content" />
Safari doesn't support it yet. So I wanted to ask if supporting this setting is planned, and if yes, when is it expected to land?
Currently for svedit.dev we have a "correction mechansim" to keep the toolbar visible, but it leads to flickering. interactive-widget=resizes-content would be a much better solution.
