My aim is so simple.

I want to display the word I type
but using keyTyped() and then text(key,100,100);
only the letter I am typing would be displayed
so please tell me how to do so
thx!

i guess you will have to store the characters you type in a string and accumulate them to form the word ou type.

Try this

Code:

PFont myFont;
String typedWord = "";

void setup() {
  size(600,50);
  background(0);

  myFont = createFont("Verdana", 20);
  textFont(myFont);  

  fill(255);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  text(typedWord, 0, height-10);  
}

void keyPressed() {
  //println(key);
  if (key != 65535) {
    if (keyCode == BACKSPACE) {
	if (typedWord.length() > 0) {
	  typedWord = typedWord.substring(0, typedWord.length()-1); //erases the last character
	}
    }
    else {
	typedWord += key; //add the key to the word
    }
  }
}
