Support for keyboard persist taps / tap-through when keyboard is open

[andveloper]

Hi, thanks for the great library! I'm running into a UX issue that I wanted to share and suggest as a feature.

Problem

When the keyboard is open (e.g. a TextInput inside the sheet is focused) and the user taps on a button or other interactive element within the sheet content, the first tap dismisses the keyboard instead of triggering the button's onPress. The user has to tap a second time to actually trigger the action.

Expected behavior

Taps on buttons/interactive elements inside the sheet should reach those elements on the first tap, even when the keyboard is open. The keyboard could still dismiss when tapping on non-interactive areas (e.g. blank space), or there could be a configuration option.

Suggested solution

Add native support for "keyboard persist taps" in TrueSheet, similar to keyboardShouldPersistTaps on ScrollView:

• Either a new prop on TrueSheet (e.g. keyboardPersistTaps?: 'never' | 'handled' | 'always')
• Or ensure that touches on interactive children (buttons, etc.) are delivered to those views before the system uses the tap for keyboard dismissal

This feature would greatly improve the form UX when using TextInputs inside sheets. Thank you for the library!

Are you experiencing this on ios too?

Yes it happens on both platforms

We figured that somewhere in the component hierarchy we had a surrounding ScrollView which didn't set the keyboardPersistTaps prop to "handled". Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks again for this awesome package 🙌
