Anybody know the best way to let users enter negative numbers into a TextFIeld? It appears as though none of the keyboard types allow the entry of negative decimal numbers. Is this true or am I missing something simple.

I'm using SwiftUI.

You have to use .numbersAndPunctuationor the default keyboard. Not extremely convenient, would be better to have just digits, separator and +/-.

Thanks, that's certainly better than using the default keyboard.
