Hi, i got my textbox working and everything, when i type its lowercase. When I hold shift in it becomes uppercase. and when i press numbers, they appear.

Problem I have now is, how do i type symbols like (?, ~, !, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), -, + <, >, and the comma and .

i have googled for the ASCII codes, theasciicode.com.ar/ascii-printable-characters/exclamation-mark-ascii-code-33.html

says symbols like #, and % and etc, is between 33 and 64.

so i added those codes, whenever i hold shift in and press 1, 2, 3, the symbols dont appear, only numbers appear..so idk maybe i did the code wrong.

yes, CharTyped is a text variable. You can append it to your text.

If you do it correctly as on my screenshot, you will be able to type special characters with Shift key.

When Shift is down, it will search for CharTyped in charsNormal string, and then replace it with the character at the same position from charsShift string. "a" will become "A", "2" will become "@" and so on.

No, in the first event don't append to the text! Set charTyped value to lowercase(Keyboard.....)

Add another sub-event below the "Shift is down" and there append charTyped to the text.
