Hi,
I don’t understand what you mean by a “typing app”. Something like the notes app on your phone or Microsoft word? If you have more information about the project that’d be great.
Cheers.

So do you want to make an on screen keyboard too? Like a custom app keyboard like you might see on banking apps?

Custom keyboard is possible. However you need time to do it.

You’ll be using the join block, and calling a function every time a button is clicked. Using the any component blocks, when a button is clicked, get the buttons text and join it to the original text. Very easy to do.

@choi_beomgyu & @when-button1.clicked , quite a few users have made their own keyboards; here’s one recent example that I just spotted:
