Press Key node doesn't work

Hi, I’m working on a VR project and I have lots of Widgets and WidgetInteractions components. While Press Key node works when entering text to a string or similar, it doesn’t work with WebBrowser Widgets, and it’s crutially important to me.

Regular symbols work - a, b, c etc (but I’m using SendChar instead anyway), but special keys - Backspace, Left, Delete, Enter - doesn’t work. Is there a solution?

P.S. Looks like it’s a known bug, but is there any plans on fixing it? It makes impossible to continue development of my application with Unreal Engine.

Hello gnuchev,

After doing some digging, I found that you are correct. This is a known issue. I have provided a link to the public tracker. Please feel free to use the link provided for future updates.

Make it a great day

Hello Rudy,
Thanks for the reply!
I checked the link you provided and it’s marked as “fixed”. But it’s not working on 4.16 preview…

If you take a look at the “Fix Commit” (3416700) you will see that the change list is after the latest version of the preview (4.16 preview 2 (CL: 3415560)). You can check the current change list of editor version that you are using by going to Help > About Unreal Editor (example provided below) The solution mentioned in the tracker above is not in the current preview.

Thanks! That’s great news! Looking forward to implement it in my apps in 4.16!
