@navedqb this is intentional. KeyFilter by default just filters SINGLE keystrokes to prevent input but not validating something is a valid number. All of the PrimeTek libraries operate this way.

Look at the Whole Word example: https://primereact.org/keyfilter/#regexword

If you want to use int and only allow the negative at the start of the word try

<InputText id="numkeys"  keyfilter={/^[-]?(\d+)?$/} validateOnly onInput={validateInput} />

That will allow only 1 minus sign and it must be the first character only.

I am sure you can ChatGPT to find a good numeric one also that only allows one "decimal".

But the component is working as designed.
