Is there any method of detecting key input even with a TextBox focused?

I am currently developing a chat system, but I have run into an issue. By default, KeyDown and KeyUp and other input detection methods are blocked while a user is typing in a textbox. This is a problem because I need to be able to send the chat by pressing the "Enter" key. Anyway, is there any way around this problem? Thanks!

very simple, use userinputservice and ignore the game proccessed event.

like this:

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")

uis.InputBegan:connect(function(key, gpe)
    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Return then
        print("ok")
    end
end)

Actually, upon further examination, it turns out that UserInputService still does not detect key presses with the TextBox focused. ChipioIndustries 454 — 8y
