Text input multiple blanks in one line

Hi there,

we were wondering if you could adjust the text input component. We use it for cloze exercises, and while it works well in general, we often have multiple blanks in a single sentence where a word needs to be entered. However, since the text input only allows one blank per line, this results in an unnecessary number of lines, which also disrupts the reading flow. I’ve attached an example – it’s in German, but it illustrates the problem quite well. I can’t imagine that I’m the only one facing this issue – maybe you already have it on your roadmap?

Current State:

This is something I wanted a while ago too Lars :slight_smile: I’d still like it to be possible so I’ll push for a feature request on this one :slight_smile:

Apart from Helen, I don’t think anyone else has raised this. Will definitely add it as something to consider; my immediate concern would be getting the screenreader accessibility right.

That surprises me a bit, since cloze exercises are a common tool for assessing knowledge, for example. In educational institutions like ours, they are standard practice.

When it comes to accessibility, you are the experts. If it’s purely about responsiveness, it might already be quite challenging on smartphones to display enough content – having multiple blanks in a single line probably won’t be possible in that case.

I guess people might want it - but they just don’t ask for it :slight_smile:
