Hello,  
I am working on 2D game in Phaser, now I’m adding chat to the game, just clasic element, where you can type text, but, when I adding keys to input of Phaser, like W, A, S, D… it wont press these keys in the HTML input element, wich is on the top of the screen, I can type anything other, wich is not added to input of Phaser keys.

Iam also try out some functions that disable Phaser keys, like this one:

` scene.input.keyboard.enabled = false;`

But it wont work… ☹
