I created a numpad using buttons, and I want each button to have specific values, such as numbers or delete functions. How do I do that so each time I select a line edit and click a button it will input the specified value?

Well there is InputEventKey.new() but that seems undocumented at the moment so the best way is to just write into the field. An then for the delete button, make a new script that does not input but removes the last character or however you would like it to behave.

extends Button
export var character_to_input = "+"
func _pressed():
    focus_mode = Control.FOCUS_NONE
    var target = get_focus_owner()
    if target is TextEdit:
        target.insert_text_at_cursor(character_to_input)
