Summary
When a numeric-only input field (e.g., OTP, PIN) is focused and the LeanType keyboard opens in number-only mode, opening the clipboard panel provides no option to go back to the number pad. The user is left stuck on the clipboard view with no navigation path back.
Environment

HyperOS 3 (Android 16) |
Steps to Reproduce
- Open any app that has a numeric-only input field (e.g., an OTP field, a PIN entry, a payment code field).
- Tap the input field — the LeanType keyboard opens showing only the number pad (1, 2, 3 layout as in the screenshot).
- Tap the clipboard icon or open the clipboard panel from within the keyboard.
- The clipboard panel opens successfully.
- ❌ There is no back button, close button, or any UI element to return to the number pad.
Expected Behavior
After opening the clipboard panel, there should be a clearly visible back/close button (or equivalent gesture) that returns the user to the previous keyboard layout — in this case, the number pad.
This is consistent with how the clipboard panel behaves when accessed from the full QWERTY layout, where navigation back is available.
Actual Behavior
The clipboard panel opens but provides no navigation option to return to the number pad. The user is completely stuck and cannot dismiss the clipboard or switch back to number input without:
- Tapping outside the keyboard (which may deselect the input field), or
- Closing and reopening the keyboard manually.
Screenshots
Impact
- Severity: Medium — blocks normal input flow in any numeric-only field
- Frequency: Reproducible every time clipboard is opened while keyboard is in number-only mode
- Workaround: Tap outside the keyboard to dismiss, then tap the field again to re-focus — cumbersome and unintuitive
Additional Context
- The issue appears specific to the restricted number pad mode triggered by
inputType="number" or similar field constraints.
- On the full QWERTY layout, clipboard navigation works as expected — suggesting the back/close button is simply missing from the number pad variant of the clipboard panel.
- Tested on HyperOS 3 (Android 16); behavior may vary on other Android versions/skins.
Possible Fix Suggestion
Add a back/close (← or ✕) button to the clipboard panel UI that is rendered regardless of which keyboard layout (QWERTY, numeric, symbols) triggered it. This ensures consistent navigation across all input modes.
