ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
java 8 and later

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The javafx virtual keyboard is missing ^ character (circumflex, caret). This is typically SHIFT+6 on the standard US keyboard.


It is not listed in https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/blob/master/modules/javafx.controls/src/main/resources/com/sun/javafx/scene/control/skin/TextBoard.txt

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Enabled virtual keyboard, looked through each key and their alternatives (via pop up). Also checked source code.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
There should be a way to enter the ^ character through the virtual keyboard.
ACTUAL -
There is no ^ character in the virtual keyboard.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Probably create jar with updated TextBoard.txt and put in class path before jfxrt.jar or patch-module.

FREQUENCY : always
