Not great solutions, but maybe useful until you get a better one:

  • have a button to add an ampersand to the end of the content of the email TextField (tested it and it works)… seems the problem is linked to some input being ignored. # doesn’t work either.
  • divide the email TextField into a prefix TextField, a Label displaying ampersand and a suffix TextField

maybe little bump? :slight_smile:

You can copy the content of the TextField file and modify the section where it recognize keys and look if there are some keys like @!? are implemented. If not, implement an own way (eg. AltRight+2) to recognize the specific keys you wish.

Moving the whole TextField file shouldn’t be a problem just reimplement the package own classes again and refer in any of your code to your own TextField instead of the original

It just requires that you create a bitmap font that has the character available. The default font is limited in characters.

i think default font have @ :slight_smile: but czech keyboard doesnt have @ on any key (and some other special chars), so i must type it as alt+v or alt+64

I don’t believe that this is a font issue. The @ key works well on linux. If I start the same program under Windows, the textfield does not recognize the @ key ?!
