One feature I liked in LOOP was the streamlined bolus entry. If I wanted 2u of insulin, I could just tap the bolus button, tap the number 2, and tap the deliver button. The FaceID check prevented butt-dialing an accidental bolus, so all was good.

With the new released version 2.2 there was a change. No numeric keypad shows in the bolus screen, either after pressing the bolus button, or after entering carbs.

The shortcut is that you tap on the recommended amount to auto-fill that number without having to type it all out. (I didn’t know about this shortcut until someone told me recently.)

But if you want a different amount you need to tap in the bolus field to make the keypad appear. I didn’t like that extra step, and wanted the keypad to show up automatically whenever the bolus screen does. It turns out this is not a difficult customization. In `bolusViewController.swift` there is a function called `viewDidAppear()`.

There’s some code for `bolusAmountTextField.accessibilityHint =`  
that goes on for a few lines, then around line 65 there is an isolated close brace `}` that ends the `viewDidAppear()` function. Open a couple blank lines before that brace, i.e., at the end but still inside the `viewDidAppear()`, and write the line

` bolusAmountTextField.becomeFirstResponder()`

Eric Jensen on the Zulip LOOP help site pointed me in the direction of this solution.

By the way, on a small iPhone or on a full-size iPhone configured to use large text, the bolus keypad lays over the top of the `Deliver` button, hiding it. (It’s a minor issue that was reported months ago.) Someday they may add a small `Deliver` button in the upper right of the screen to match the `Cancel` or `< Carb Entry` button that’s in the upper left. For now, the workaround is to scroll upwards in the top portion of the screen to drag the `Deliver` button up into view. I’m mildly ashamed to say that took me about a half-hour to figure out when I first tried to enter a bolus in v2.2 and couldn’t see how to actually deliver the insulin after getting this far:
