I am currently building a custom keyboard and I am almost done. One problem that I have is with the delete button. When the user taps the delete button, it does what it should do and deletes the previous text entry. However when the user holds the button down, nothing happens. How do I make it so that when the user holds down the delete button, the keyboard continuously deletes like in the standard ios keyboard?

You should also register for the action UIControlEventTouchDownRepeat for delete button by below way.

[deleteButton addTarget:self action:@selector(deleteCharacter:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDownRepeat];
