Custom keyboard and type letters

every one i create custom keyboard and i have problem iam using my keyboard as textview.inputView = myKeyboardView; my keyboard buttons have this code :

NSMutableString *text = [textPad.text mutableCopy];
    NSRange selectedRange = textPad.selectedRange;

    [text replaceCharactersInRange:selectedRange withString:@"A"];
    textPad.text = text;

My first guess is that you need to set selectedRange. Also consider using convenience constructors rather than explicitly creating mutable copies — you only mutate it once so it's not likely to be any more efficient.

NSString *text = textPad.text;
NSRange selectedRange = textPad.selectedRange;
NSString *replacement = @"A";

text = [text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:selectedRange withString:replacement];
selectedRange = (NSRange){selectedRange.location + replacement.length, 0};

textPad.text = text;
textPad.selectedRange = selectedRange;
