Different keyboard types for newTextBox?

I see in the docs that for the TextField widget you can set different keyboard types, including a “url” type and the native iOS types like “UIKeyboardTypeTwitter”. Cool.

I am looking for the same feature in the multi-line newTextBox widget. Specifically I’d love to have the hashtag # key easily accesable to promote social posting with hashtags.

I tried:

textBox = native.newTextBox( display.contentCenterX, 140, display.contentWidth\*.8, 64 ) textBox.inputType = "UIKeyboardTypeTwitter"

but it didn’t work. Any way of getting the # hashtag keyboard showing up for newTextBox widget?
