How to hide virtual keyboard for specific input?

[fumeeptc]

Hello everyone!

Why when on mobile (android) autofocus on input doesn’t give keyboard but when focus with jquery it does?
How to hide virtual keybord for specific input?

My input:
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="serial" name="serial" autocomplete="off" autofocus required>
On page load input is focused and no virtual keyboard is showing.

Here are jquery that triggers virtual keyboard:

Mousetrap.bind('* #', function() { 
	$("#serial").focus();
	
	setTimeout(
	  function() 
	  {
		$('#serial').val('');
	  }, 10);								
	
	
});

Info: I use short keys to do some actions and *# sets focus to my input. And on this moment virtual keyboard pops up

I m testing on mobile chrome on a mobile barcode scanner with built in android. And in this case i do not need keyboard for this input.

Any tip or help?

Thanks in advance!
