Hey!

I am making a math game on love2d, that I would eventually release on android and ios. Having a full text keyboard just for numbers is not ideal, so how would i go about changing the mobile keyboard to the native number keyboard on ios and android?

Ideally it would only be a num keyboard when in-game, so other details could be entered as well. But if that's not possible, it could be a num keyboard all the time.

Cheers, Santeri

I'm just wondering - why not make you own virtual in-game keyboard?

That was on my mind as well, but I just thought that the built-in keyboard would function better and be more elegant. And it would definitely save me some coding!

Unfortunately SDL doesn't expose the API for this.

love.keyboard.setTextInput is basically thin wrapper around SDL_SetTextInputRect, so if SDL doesn't expose the keyboard mode, then LOVE can't.

Feel free to create feature request on SDL repository however.
