Changing Return Key of iPhone keyboard?

Unity Engine

Is there any way to specify the return key used by the iPhone keyboard from Unity?

I have a search field and would prefer it if I could change the Return key to read “Search”. Objective-C has a property called “UIReturnKeyType” which I would like to set to UIReturnKeySearch but I don’t see any way to do that in Unity.

Alternatively, is there a location in the Objective-C code generated by Unity that I can edit to set UIReturnKeyType to UIReturnKeySearch?

Thanks,
Jared

Create a new Objective-C file and do it yourself, then call the function from C# with DLLImport.

Try the different keyboard types. I haven’t, but one might say Search.

Thanks for the ideas. It looks like none of the keyboard types have want I want (which is basically the default keyboard with a “Search” key instead of a “Return” key).

I think the plugin option may be the only way (which is probably more complicated than I want to bother with).

Here is the solution GitHub - mopsicus/umi: Unity mobile input (UMI) plugin for Android and iOS, allows to use features of mobile native input fields for people still who are searching.
