Build Reply Keyboard

Build Reply Keyboard

Quick Start

Use replyKeyboardMarkup { } or replyKeyboardMarkup(block). Attach via markup() or replyKeyboardMarkup { } on send actions.

message("Choose an option:")
    .replyKeyboardMarkup {
        +"Option A"
        +"Option B"
        newLine()
        "Share contact" requestContact true
        options { resizeKeyboard = true; }
    }
    .send(user, bot)

Simple Buttons

Use unary plus to add plain text buttons:

+"Button 1"
+"Button 2"
newLine()
+"Next row"

Special Buttons

Options

Configure via options { }:

• resizeKeyboard = true — keyboard resizes to fit screen
• oneTimeKeyboard = true — keyboard hides after one use
• inputFieldPlaceholder = "Type here..." — placeholder in input field (1-64 chars)
• selective = true — show only to @mentioned users or reply target
• isPersistent = true — keyboard stays visible (for oneTimeKeyboard)

Rows

Use newLine() or br() to start a new row, same as inline keyboards.

Removing the Keyboard

When done, send a message with replyKeyboardRemove():

message("Keyboard removed")
    .replyKeyboardRemove()
    .send(user, bot)

Or replyKeyboardRemove(selective = true) for selective removal.
