```

### Remarks

When `true`, Unity closes the on-screen keyboard if you tap outside the visible keyboard area. When `false`, Unity keeps the on-screen keyboard open if you tap outside the visible keyboard area. This means that you can interact with Unity while the keyboard remains on-screen.

The default value is `false`.
