keyboard question/ looking for suggestions - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Swype used to have a delete key on the "sub menu" (Swype left to right on bottom 2 keys), but it's not there anymore.
All I really want is a keyboard with a custom dictionary and a forward delete key. number row would be nice, but I can live without it.
Suggestions?

Keyboard input switch on Dual

Hi,
Have a little problem with my dual. Or maybe I simple don't know.
When I want to write sms I see "touch keyboard" input is 2 letters on 1 button. But when I in file explorer for expl. I'm using "touch keyboard" input with 1 letter on button.
How could I fix it? bicause when I'm writing sms I want to see every letter on different button but I can't do that because I have to use only metod with 2 letters on button
Thanx
Sorry for my poor English
Htc Touch Dual
this is not the problem
u can see teh 1 botton keyboard only on some applications like contacts but when you try to make a new sms or email you can see the 2 or 3 botton keyboard nothing can change that unless someone here in the forum will have a tool or reg fix for it

i would really like to have the 1 button keyboard as my only soft keyboard for ALL applications. does anyone know a way to imply this?
thanks a lot.
Or modified keyboard
Or possibly modify the touch keyboard so that the full stop & comma are on the 1st page of symbols & the word select area is more finger friendly?
Try the keyboard TouchPal ...is free to use and is great for oane hand use of the phone. I write SMS with it even when driving...
here it is : http://www.cootek.com/
don't know if this helps and if it sets the keyboard to default, but if you press on the little "upper arrow" on the right side to the "20", you can change the kind of keyboard used by the application
I like to have this keyboard too...

Spacebar mapping on the nummeric keyboard

Hi. I really dont like the position of the spacebar key on the numeric keyboard of the Rose. It is located on the key 9 (doublepress), but I am used to doublepress the key 0 from my Nokia phone.
Does anybody know, please, how the spacebera can be remaped?
Thanks!
Regards Robert
P.S. Rose is a superb phone, like it very muc.
Exactly; I'd like it to be on the "1" instead of the "#" I guess its only useful for lefthanded people.. I'll either almost drop my phone or break my thumb, lol.).
Any idea's? Already checked the eT9 etc, but no result there.
The numeric keyboard is useful since I don't always wanna type with the keyboard slid open when in the pub
I'd also like to remap a key. When the phone is slid-out the SMS/MMS key and the one next to it with a picture of an envelope on both take you to the SMS inbox. This seems extremely pointless to me and i'd like to remap one to start a blank SMS.
Thanks

[Q] *[q]is it possible to change the original hd2 keybored?*

Is it possible to change the original htc hd2 keybored to a new keybored like android without flashing a new rom?? I rly like the android keybored... Plz do not post the swype OR TOCUHPAL keyboARdS.. Thanks!!!
Yes. It is possible to change the keyboard without flashing. Find one you like and download it.
For example: THIS keyboard or THIS one or THIS one... well you get the idea.
There really isnt a single WinMo keyboard out there that has the same layout as Android or iPhones keyboards.
Quite a shame since if you could just remove the useless arrow keys and space the keys a little more with the space saved by getting rid of the useless arrow keys then the keyboard could be perfect =/

RESCO Keyboard Pro (I had it allready from earlier PDA) Has no arrows (on the default screen)
One can swype left/right for the different screens.
Immediate access to calculator, and the arrows, copy, paste, delete and backspace are just one flick away....
Well worth the monye IMO.
Also rotates to landscape....

Yeah I tried RESCO but the landscape version of it is not really qwerty style at all
Like on any keyboard the letters should funnel diagonal like this:
------------>QWERTYUIOP
-------------->ASDFGHJK
---------------->XCVBN
RESCO doesn't seem to do this its more like:
QWERTYUIO
ASDFGHJKL;'
ZXCVBNM,./
Every letter is exactly underneath each other instead of diagonal which throws off typing since no one has ever typed on a keyboard that style.
I need a keyboard in landscape to look exactly like this:
Speaking of which does anyone know which keyboard this is??? It looks absolutely perfect!
The indented layout has been designed for 10 finger typing
I do not believe you can do it on the HD2....
The swype keyboard is probably more to your liking.....
BTW: Where did you find that screendump?
Perhaps you could ask that user....

Argh!
Found out its an old skin of the RESCO keyboard called iSkin... but its back from 2008 and I cant find anything that it would re-size correctly for the Hd2
I'll try swype again though due to the indented keys based off your suggestion and figure out what it was that I didn't like the first time or if it has been fixed (can't remember since its 4am at the moment =P)
Edit: I hate swyping since its bad for inputting url's... but I tried it anyways just as a way to type regularly since i like the layout of the keyboard BUT no sound clicks when I press keys + no key press popup showing me I pressed the right one while I am typing = No good
Need a real iPhone style keyboard with indented keys in landscape.
Android can do it, why cant WM?

[Q] possible to mod the default keyboard?

The default android keyboard is the fastest.
No 3rd party keyboard can come close in terms of speed.
But do you guys notice that there are 2 empty space on the keyboard?
At the bottom left, and bottom right.
Left of the 'smiley' key, and right of the '-' key.
It would be great if the blank space can be changed to a left cursor and right cursor.
Any idea how to do this?
the setup of the default honeycomb keyboard is in the systemui.apk but i dont know how to do coding like that so thats all i can help you with

LG Keyboard

I want to type in the small screen to write in the big screen, but I want to use another keyboard (like Hackers Keyboard) instead of LG keyboard. Because I want arrow keys, CTRL key... Is it possible?
I think this phone would hace more productivity if that was possible.
Similarly. I use SwiftKey for most of my texting and everything in portrait mode. When I Wing the phone out I generally switch to the LG keyboard prior to opening the second screen. It's not as good for word prediction and everything but it allows you to move it between the upper and lower screens. I don't know of any other keyboard yet that has that feature besides the stock LG keyboard. Pretty easy to do. There's a little keyboard icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. Click on that that will allow you to switch between keyboards.

I would like LG to add more symbols in its keyboard, mainly: arrow (cursor) keys, CTRL, ALT. These keys are perfect to edit text. I would like to communicate this matter to you so that you can make the keyboard more complete. It would be easy for them.

A quick way to move your cursor is you long hold on the spacebar and then you can slide your finger left and right to move the cursor. It actually works pretty well. And I hate to admit it, but I think they stole that idea from Apple.
I didn't know that feature! Thanks! It's good but it' s not enough. I need more like a PC keyboard with arrow keys, CTRL and ALT keys for my purposes.
Any changes with the Android 11 update?
Goof app to have on the phone
