  • Have you found a solution to this? I'm using Titanium Studio and also trying to find some solution for this since it makes text fields and "dollar value" input difficult.

  • does anybody know a solution to this problem? I need this to write a custom keyboard for my app, like the one on the wolfram alpha app.
