The keyboard hides when the text field resigns first responder. The textfield delegate is told when a key is pressed (textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:). If you need any more detail than that, please put a bit more effort into your question and show us what you have tried so far.

You may try UIKeyInput protocol. To catch a insert with insertText http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/UIKit/Reference/UIKeyInput_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html

Have you used protocols?

EDIT: Then you can use method [textField resignFirstResponder];

To hide the keyboard

EDIT2: Protocols In short, the interface for class that you want to respond to the protocol must be declare as (in YourClass.h):

@interface YourClass:NSObject<UIKitInput>

then, you have to implements the protocol methods in YourClass.m:

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark UIKeyInput Protocol Methods

- (BOOL)hasText {
    .....
    return NO;
}

- (void)insertText:(NSString *)theText {
    ...;
}

- (void)deleteBackward {
    ....
}

Good Luck!

For that, you have to create a custom keyboard or you have to override the Keyboard methods. But you cannot override. Because You do not know, in which method and what code is to sense that key pressing in that frameworks. So better write a custom keyboard anyway.
