Python Kivy: hide virtual keyboard in Text Input Field

Viewed 3628

I am using the python kivy framework to develop a GUI which will then be most probably used on a desktop PC with (hardware) mouse and keyboard. My problem now is that when using the Text Input class, it automatically creates a virtual keyboard if the Text Input field gets focused. Among other things I tried to set the option

keyboard_mode = 'managed'

implemented in my main the following way:

textinputfield = TextInput(text="some initial text here", text_size=self.size, keyboard_mode='managed')

which actually hides the keyboard but unfortunately also prevents the user from entering any data into the field.... I can't find any solution on google. Do you have any ideas?
