If you have ever written an iPhone app that requires numeric input, then you surely know about the UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad. And if you have ever used that flavor of the iPhone's keyboard, then you surely know that it lacks one very important feature: The UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad does not have a "return" key.

In fact every other keyboard type (except for the pretty similar UIKeyboardTypePhonePad) does offer the possibility to be dismissed by setting the returnKeyType property of the corresponding UITextInputTraits implementor. So how does one achieve the same effect with the number pad? We have found a workround!
