I have a UITextField object in a storyboard's scene where the user is make numeric entries. Because this field is for numbers only I set the keyboard type to "Number Pad" in attributes. But this keyboard does not have a return key which leaves the user unable to signal when the entry is complete, the keyboard should be put away, and the entered value processed. I tried all the other numeric keyboards also, and found that none of them has a return key. The default keyboard does, but it is a full alphanumeric keyboard which is undesirable for that field.
How can I cause the return key, done key, or whichever does that function, appear on a numeric only keyboard?
That's an old issue. Really a pity as there is room for a return key.
There are at least 2 options:
- add a subview in the keyboard, but it's hard to position correctly and has some side effects
- add a close button above, in the toolbar
