Phaser.Keyboard.MINUS does not trigger -

[JcKairos]

I am working on a game which allow the player to enter the answer for math questions.

Codes for typing the numbers are working such as:

key1 = this.game.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.ONE);
        key1.onDown.add(this.press1, this);

However, I can't seem to get the minus(-) working, it does not even trigger the key pressed.

keyminus = this.game.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.MINUS);
        keyminus.onDown.add(this.pressminus, this);

Is there any way I can implement the typing of '-'?

Phaser.Keyboard.NUMPAD_SUBTRACT works but players normally use the minus key and not the number-pad, is there any other way to type "-"?

I have the same problem. The code for detecting input (Phaser.keyboard) works almost any input except minus and plus.

Would like to know an answer for this too.

I think you have to a keypress callback and check for charCode=45.

Tried it, works for other keys but not "-". Any other way?

game.input.keyboard.addCallbacks(this, null, null, function (stringFromCharCode, event) {
  // stringFromCharCode === '-' ?
  console.log(stringFromCharCode, event);
});

Got it working... for some reason the charCode was not 45 but 173...

Thanks for the help
