native data entry fields -- getting keystroke events & emulating native labels

On a well designed iPhone app (eg Contacts), when your cursor lands in a data entry (native Input) field (say “First Name”), the cursor defaults to far-left, but the “label” (“First”) REMAINS in the field until you start typing something new. To my knowledge, Corona is not currently sending keystroke events…only coarse events such as “began” and “ended”. I also don’t see a way to set the cursor location in the field (eg at the beginning) to emulate this nice interface.

Does anyone else know how to do this, and if not, Ansca…what are the plans for giving us more granular event handling on native input fields.

Thanks for all feedback!
