Properties

placeholder?: string

The placeholder to be shown in the input field when the keyboard is active; 1-64 characters.

selective?: boolean

Use this parameter if you want to show the keyboard to specific users only. Targets: 1) users that are

in the text of the Message object; 2) if the bot's message is a reply (has reply_to_message_id), sender of the original message.

Example: A user requests to change the bot's language, bot replies to the request with a keyboard to select the new language. Other users in the group don't see the keyboard.

singleUse?: boolean

Requests clients to hide the keyboard as soon as it's been used. The keyboard will still be available, but clients will automatically display the usual letter-keyboard in the chat – the user can press a special button in the input field to see the custom keyboard again.
