Please add support for holding backspace to delete entered text on ps4

On PC holding backspace rapidly deletes text
On PS4 you have to press backspace once per character you want to delete in a text box; holding backspace does nothing

Didn’t realize it was different on PC and PS4 till just now

Tilde key still freezes the game. on regular keyboards, there is a space between the ESC and the tilde key, but mine doesn’t have that space

Ps4 has copy and paste thru the OS text editor and it’s a great help. Wish they added that to pc as well

Isn’t this a little different to the comment above?

(This is currently logged in the bug database).

Yes the tilde thing is unrelated, but annoying too

Going back to your first post, just to confirm, is this to do with a physical keyboard connected to a PS4 rather than the on-screen keyboard that appears in game?

Yes, physical keyboard via usb in my case. Not with the pop up ps4 keyboard on screen.

I use usb keyboard on my PS4 too, and hate this. My finger doesn’t like tapping backspace that often :weary:

Though, I’ve never used usb keyboard for anything else on PS4 - so not sure if it’s a game or system problem

Works fine in psn messages

That keyboard triggers my need to dust.

Back in a bit, need to clean something

Is this from the PS4 Home screen?

(I can’t really check this from home due to having no PS4 and keyboard available).

Psn messages is like ICQ for PSN. It’s via the home screen.

I’ve added your comments to the database.

Out of interest, does this functionality work on any other PS4 games you play with?

I’ve never used a keyboard in another game but I will try

I use a keyboard in Smite on PS4 and i can hold down backspace there.
