Onscreen keyboard input and splitscreen.

Currently, when playing Minecraft on console and using split screen, if you try and edit a sign or book, other players have to pause what they are doing for you to finish writing. This can be annoying. Also, when the host of a multiplayer session edits text (at least on the switch) certain things that other players do can lag or be delayed. I think a solution could be to implement a custom keyboard within the game that doesn't do this. It could scale to fit the size of the screen of the person using it.

    when my cousins come over we sometimes do 4p split-screen and it's a huge inconvenience. we all have to stop what we are doing when someone wants to type something out. we started joining the game on our phones just to type stuff.

    This would be a great feature if done correctly (and especially if it doesn't affect the frame rate)
