Why would you want to detect each key that is pressed?

you need to add more detail to your question so people know how to help.
 
I still have no idea what u mean..
If u mean, when u press Enter, it switches to the next textfield, then please try to put ur question in a good order, I don't wonna post the links, that show you how to make questions on forums.

The textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString: method will be called on the UITextField delegate object for every single key press.

of course that's not true! don't bother, that's a wrong answer. some keys are not working with this method (backspace, return, etc...). proper solution is to create your own implementation of the UIKeyInput protocol. you can find a good example here:
