As of Wednesday April 3rd 2024: a partial fix was released, this fixed the problem with having to manually press the send button at the bottom right. This is greatly appreciated mojang! But the other problems such as tab, and up arrow still have incorrect functions, this is noticeable when you compare what tab and uparrow do with the windows 10 version of the game. In the windows version when tab is pressed it cycles through the command options that show on screen, and also on the windows version of the game when the uparrow is pressed it pastes the text of your previous message into the chat box. These features that I mentioned that occur on the windows version DO NOT still work on the xbox version when using a keyboard and mouse. These features that I mentioned however did work as features on the xbox version before the update that removed them. We are not asking for new features, we are asking for the features that were once in the game that got ruined by the chat system rework update that are in all other bedrock versions. Thank you for your time to read this.

As of Sunday, March 17th 2024: this issue still has not gotten any type of feedback from the devs. It has been around a year now, this problem is still occurring and can be replicated. Several players in this community including me have been waiting for some type of feedback at all and so far all we can say is that this post has been forgotten. After the update that ruined the chat system the community responsible for utilizing the chat system on xbox for its intended purpose has deplinished. As a part of the community, the update that had changed the chat system has made me not even want to touch the game because the way I personally have fun is by creating magical things with commands and now it has gotten incredibly difficult to do things like that now since 70% of the features that have been placed there to make using the chat system easy to utilize have been removed. I hope mojang can read this and give something for us, the players who want to create. On xbox.

Yeah, this has been an issue for a lot of players and it just seems like mojang isn't doing anything to fix it

 To add to this problem, when using an external keyboard and mouse on xbox when trying to type out a command or just a simple chat message; the tab button does not cycle through the options anymore because the xbox internal keyboard keeps popping up(this was not an issue in 1.18 or any previous versions), the up arrow does not cycle through previously typed out messages or commands anymore because the internal xbox keyboard keeps popping up(this also was not an issue in 1.18 or any previous versions), when you go into the chat overlay: you cant instantly start typing, instead you have to press "enter" on the keyboard or go down to the textbox in order to pop up the xbox keyboard to start typing, in 1.18 or previous versions all you had to do was go into the chat and instantly start typing even if the xbox internal keyboard was not already up. In conclusion, these "features" that mojang added to the chat system for xbox keyboard and mouse players was NEVER needed and is a massive problem for people who use commands.
