I was wondering how canvas text inputs should work in mobile (iOS or Android).

Is there anyway to call directly the mobile virtual keyboard interface by using some JavaScript?

I would prefer it instead of creating a virtual keyboard at all (as we don't even know the characters of the keyboard of the people we are building the game to).

Any suggestions on how to handle this?

Good question. If the mobile keyboard is only triggered by a DOM element, like <input>, I don't think it would be supported in Ejecta. If you are viewing the game on a mobile browser, it would still take some tricks to force the keyboard to open because it since the <canvas> is its own tag, and you can't have an <input> inside it.

if using Ejecta you can use the api below to get user entered text.

var userText;

ejecta.getText( 'Highscore', 'Please enter your name', function(text) {
    userText = text;
});
