Can someone tell where to find docs/code on how to use the keyboard. In the game I working on, the user needs to interact with the keyboard(using arrow/directional keys). [import]uid: 56845 topic_id: 9575 reply_id: 35324[/import]

It’d be MUCH easier to use arrow keys to test playability etc before going through the (albeit it minimal) hassle of building and loading an app to the device.

Testing platformer games, or anything with more than one button in simulator is pretty much impossible due to this, and disruptive to the otherwise fantastic Corona workflow.
