- Make sure the "Connect hardware keyboard" checkbox is selected. By default, when you click in a text field, this prevents the soft keyboard from appearing.
- Press Cmd + K to switch the soft keyboard. If he did not appear earlier, he will appear now.
Once you're done, leave the sim in this state. This state is easiest to work with, because you can enter it using a hardware keyboard, and a software keyboard will appear, so KIF will work.
