Auto-focus and pre-select value in Update Progress input on mobile
May 21, 2026
Issue
When opening the Update Progress screen on a currently-reading book, the percentage/page input is not focused. I have to tap into it manually. And when I do, the cursor lands at the end of the existing value, so for example updating from "39" to "40" requires backspacing twice before typing the new number.
Suggestion
- Auto-focus the input when the screen opens, so the numpad comes up immediately.
- Either pre-select the existing value (so the first keystroke overwrites it) or clear it on focus. Pre-selecting is preferable since it preserves the previous number as a visual reference until I start typing.
