Did “everyone” agree on and implement them, or did Google implement them and force everyone else in the WHATWG to play catch-up since they’re dominant?

  Maybe there are specific examples of that? But I can't think of any, and it certainly doesn't strike me as common. Random example: https://caniuse.com/input-inputmode https://caniuse.com/input-inputmode Firefox: 2013 Chrome: 2017 Safari: Any decade now, I'm sure of it

    Your own link says it’s supported on Safari for iOS, for years now. It’s obviously not supported on MacOS because that attribute only applies to onscreen keyboards.

      What makes you think onscreen keyboards are not useful in macOS if at least for accessibility reasons?
      • fingerlocks 2y ago
        The browser feature under discussion is clearly intended for small screen mobile devices. Accessibility keyboards are just keyboards from the web page’s perspective

          It's clearly NOT intended only for small screen mobile devices. There's no reason to restrict suggesting input types to mobile browsers only. That's exactly why desktop Chrome and Firefox has support it for a long time now.

            • hu3 2y ago
              yeah, as usual. That's exactly the point
