I understand but I use them a lot!

I also use set label from hardware…
I totally hear you, and as I said it will be implemented one day.
Blynk Server is an Open-Source product. You can fork and make adjustments in case you really need certain features. Particularly this feature can be copy/pasted based on properties for other widgets.
Loving the new input buttons. So many new options
Hitting return on the Text Input widget sends the output fine (HINT needs param.asStr() ) but it doesn’t clear the widget… thus requiring lots of backspacing.
It also doesn’t appear to send an end of line or carriage return, thus unable to use code logic or as proper serial output as it just keeps adding on where it left off.
Also unsure how Numerical Input is much better than a Step Widget? Short of a bigger number display.
A small (1/4 - 1/3 size of desktop?) 10+ key numeric keypad would be more appropriate.
lots of good stuff there guys. Good to get text and numeric input at last… @Gunner you might have missed this but you can enter numbers from the keyboard as well as use the incrementor. So I find it better than the Step Widget.
But is it intended to have decimals. I seem to be able only to enter integers. The graphic suggests decimals ? 3.14 at top of the screen shot
btw the fix to visual display of the pin on the widget in the tile ui works fine. Thanks for the fix.

Decimals could be entered only when the virtual pin is selected
It’s editable from the keyboard - just touch the number text.

It is intended to work without clearing the edit field, there will be another widget with clearing sent values and lots of other options, but not soon.
OK, but without even a EOL indication on the assigned variable that can be used for logic control, I can’t seem to find a practical use for this widget… well, not yet 
Well, I think it is better the way it is NOW (NOT clearing the text field). Imagine You just want to change one or two digits, but by design you are forced to enter a whole text. But perhaps the text (as a whole) could be selected (highlighted) @BlynkAndroidDev? Then the user could either erase it just by starting typying, or point on the text to unselect it to make corrections.
But anyway: A great update!
Surely, this edit text field works like all other edit fields on Android.
Use case?
I was under the impression many wanted a smaller Text Input only widget to replace the Terminal when it’s display is unnecessary and/or it’s size requirements are too much.
But sounds like that is still in the planning 
so good!
EDIT - OK, easy enough to modify with code…
Nice widget collection added on. Numeric input widget has a display issue. Even if we change font size, display size does not change.
If we give a title, it overlays on the top and cuts off a small portion of the displayed value. Very obvious in 7.

I don’t know, you tell me! I’m currently using only a terminal for VERY simple command line entering (and it is only test device and firmware). It accepts only two commands: fadein and fadeout. So fade is the common for both. If It would stay on display, I would be able to correct only last chars in or out to “create” a command 
Let it be ‘use case 1’ 
OK, another one: A message board (a pager?). I could place a large LED display hanging over in my house, and send from remote location to my wife:“I’ll be back at 4PM, be ready…”. But then a heavy traffic occurred… So instead typing all over again, jus correct “I’ll be back at 6.30PM, be ready…”
I know… the phone is better… but it IS A USAGE SCENARIO
Most of this is mute… see my last edited post (about the Text Input Widget) above
