Thanks for the feedback !

The issue with the DAT extension is that two formats use the same extension: advsys games and old Infocom games. Gargoyle uses advsys interpreter by default when opening this format and will eventually crash.

The easiest solution seems to be to simply change the extension to .z5

Another workaround seems to be to force the interpreter for a specific game in the garglk.ini file (in /extensions/gargoyle/dist folder):
Code:
[ zork.dat ]
terp frotz
(for more details see this discussion)

Concerning the disappearing keyboard, I also observed the issue (it's even worse on leafpad, another project I'm working on). Correcting this bug is my top priority. Adding a swipe gesture to display hidden keyboard is also a good suggestion.
