No, GetPlayerInput() only exposes the types of input that already get sent across the network. Exposing the keyboard would require a completely different input model.

So far the only way to input numbers and such on a keypad or some kind of module for mods requires display of a keypad and a navigational system. This unfortunately is inconvenient for the user and the developers. Is there a way to read the char number input or something for the keyboard? A-Z and 0-9?

It would save tremendous coding time and player time while dealing with the hacky workarounds for the interfaces that implement this kind of feature.
