In the text box, use :IsFocused() to see if a player is typing in the chatbox. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/TextBox is where you will find all the 'focus' items.

With the UserInputService's InputBegan, it comes with a second argument that checks if a player's typing or not. (Arg1 = Key pressed, Arg2 = Typing (use
if not Arg2b/c that's when they're typing))
