Whatslectron: Whatsapp Web with Electron.

Regarding pinning the icon to the left menu bar:
If anybody wants to pin the starting icon to the left menu bar in UT, I was able to do that during the start-up portion of the app - when that introductory page is displayed. After that, when the whatsapp content is displayed, the icon on the left changes to "X11 support" and pinning it will not start the app.

Regarding the keyboard:
I had to adjust the keyboard height (thanks to Ambot Installer this is possible) in order to be able to see the text input area. So it seems that when the keyboard is displayed the text input area moves up indeed but not above the keyboard (depending on keyboard height) but to a fixed position.
Do you have the default config in terms of scaling in Ubunut Tweaks. For now normally this problem happens when you have changed the default scaling, because I don't know how to get that value. (I guess you must have the same problem with Signal UT, or Rocket.Chat). I will try to find a solution for all of them.

The responsive patch for Whatsapp Web/Signal/etc is basically shrinking the window size
No it is not shrinking the window size, it is moving up the edit area
Personally, I think the keyboard height in UT is way too low. But, an adjustable height keyboard Should Just Work once Mir 2.x comes out... right?
I don't know about that yet

As mentioned in the app description it is also possible to pin it When you export or import a file with contentHUB.

Current value: 21 - is this the default value? - or have I modified it in the past and I don't remember...
-
Can you post the value of
echo "$GRID_UNIT_PX"In your terminal? It should give you the default value for your model. Maybe you can tell us also what phone you are using. (The default value is not the same for every phone)

I'm on OnePlus N10, noble.

@mihael
Well then this is very strange it does not work by default. I happen to have OnePlus N10 now thanks to @messayisto I will install 24.04-1.x and try it. -
I've installed it on a fresh clean 24.04-1.1, on a One plus One N10 5G, the keyboards fits perfectly well in the Whatslectron app. Maybe you had previously changed the keyboard height with Ambot hacks?
[EDIT:] Anyway I will try to add a setting to configure scaling a keyboard height later on all of my chat Electron apps.

If calls work for you, feel free to mention it in the openstore, so that people know it works for at least some people, and want to test it themselves!

I don't remember what I have done

But actually there's a thing that I didn't mention: I have the numbers row displayed.

I see, well I know what I'll do, in next revision I will do a keyboard calibration step in the welcome page (that currently only asks the microphone permission), so that automatically opens the keyboard in Qt and measures its real height.
