Windows "back button" key option?

Hi, just realized that on Windows GS you can't type in words in a rule for keyboard input. Can't do "back" as the Tizen tutorials say. Searched the forums can't find the solution.
Anyone figured this out?

    Hi, I'm also looking forward to an answer on this. I've been working on a game to publish on tizen and now i realise we cant publish because of no keyboard input option. :(

    I haven't done any developing for Tizen but the Tizen cookbook explains this: http://cookbook.gamesalad.com/tutorials/10/parts/69.

    You cant do that on windows version, it doesnt allow you to type a word.

    You can't type the name of a key in a key is down rule??? Forgive my ignorance but how do you make keyboard-controlled games in Windows Creator?

    And just to be clear, we are NOT talking about the Keyboard Input behavior.

    See 2:27 in this video for an example (he types 'w' but I assume 'back' would also be permissible):

    maybe you cant... i have controls on my game that im using with the arrows( making a rule that checks when key up down right or left is down), i think those are implemented in the creator, but if you try to put another word it doesnt allow you, for example if you try to type back, you see the b, then it dissapears and you see only the a......then the c , then the k.

    Edit:
    I think it only allows you to type one letter or words that are already implemented.

    Huh, okay. Sorry to hear that! I would submit a bug report. @FryingBaconStudios... know anything about this? Edit: probably not... You did a Tizen video series but now I'm realizing it was probably on Mac.
