Are there any news to this? Or maybe another way to open a numpad keyboard on HL2?

[JuenTingShie]

Hey, I'm looking for Numpad keyboard too. Will here having any update? Or maybe when will this Feature release?

[Merichbier]

I'm also interested, but I'm wondering if this is more a Unity bugs ?

[made3]

Wondering, too. But given that this issue is almost a year old with no actual response I don't have any hope

[Merichbier]

I've been testing with the Touchscreenkeyboard in 2019.4 but there it was not possible to open a different keyboard than the default one. I'm wondering if there is any progress from unity side in 2020

@MaxWang-MS Is this something you've explored in your keyboard investigations?

[MaxWang-MS]

I think this is a Unity bug/feature request as the TouchcreenKeyboard is a Unity API. If you are impacted I strongly recommend filing a bug report with Unity as that they are aware of the issue and hopefully address it. Please post a public Issue Tracker link here after you hear back from Unity so that we can better track it.

any update on this?

[MaxWang-MS]

Hi @derekfreed, I have not heard any update on this issue and am not sure if a bug/feature request has been filed with Unity. Please go ahead and file a request directly with Unity if you are interested in this.

[keveleigh]

Out of curiosity, which https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/TouchScreenKeyboardType.html types have you tried? I'll go dig up the mapping I made a while back, but there should be several types supported.
