Overview
A Flutter package that enables a popup menu to remain open while keeping the keyboard active, ensuring a seamless user experience during input-heavy interactions. It is particularly useful in forms or text entry scenarios where users need to select options from a menu without losing focus on the text field. The package works by preventing the keyboard from closing when the popup menu is triggered, maintaining continuity in user workflows. Designed for simplicity and reliability, it integrates smoothly with existing Flutter applications.
