Thank you!!!!!!! Do you have the issue to?
Well, no - I've bound it to SYM key on my Raphael's HW keyboard,
since I've made a ROM without ezInput and eT9 and I'm using
custom FingerKeyboard layout on landscape as a replacement
for symbols selector...
just what i was looking for!
thanks a lot!
You're welcome, I'm glad I could help!
I'm now working on version that can change SIP from
command line parameter, is anybody interested?

can you adapt this app, to auto select the phonepad for messaging, but keyboard for web browsing / emailing??
thanks - the app as it is, is ace,,,,
To do this, app must be constantly pooling for topmost window
name / class, with intervals short enough to be acceptable
(< 1s, I guess), and this will mean that your battery will last
shorter, so I would doubt if the game is worth the candle...
I would recommend using FingerKeyboard, which is best in any case...
Try Wisbar Advance

Hmm, the latest wisbar advance is able to auto-switch the SIP according to the active window... You might want to consider that option.

These two programs rock! I find myself using the pcmkeyboard (WITHOUT autocorrect) all the time. POcketcm.. not so much..
It's great to show it to people, but honestly I'm faster with t9 contact searches such as what the htc dialer uses.. The threading SMS is great though - now if it would only integrate with SPB's mobile shell so that the messaging options shows it
PCMKeyboard's autocorrect keeps getting in my way. I've had to disable it as it usually uncorrects words that are fine to start with.. Would love to see an option to quickly enable/disable this from the keyboard screen and without going to the options...
I'll type up a quick email/sms, then look back and realize that the words had been changed on me..
Overall - I'm pretty much as-fast on the hardware keyboard on my ppc-6800 as with pcmkeyboard - which says a lot about a soft keyboard...
Keep up the great work!

I'm using the pcm keyboard, also. and there is an option to turn off auto correct and suggest words. Uncheck the box that says enable auto correct. The downsides I've found with the pcm keyboard is there's no option to make it the default keyboard, and I have to redo everything after start ups.

I know you can disable it - mine is disabled.. I just wish the auto-correct was a bit easier to disable/enable on demand...
i.e. when I'm typing a URL, I don't need autocorrect (in fact 9 times out of 10 it gets in the way and I have to tell it to revert..).. but it's helpful for fast sms messages...

thank god for pcm keyboard.
I just updated pocket cm, so still reviewing.
there is a sipchange app to set default the keyboard.

Well i am a happy user of pocketcm but i don't like pcmkeyboard , the layout is just to small for my fingers , i would like to see more rows. like:
qwerty
uiop
asdf
ghjkl
zxc
bnm
so that the keys can be bigger and more finger friendly , now i use phonepad intl from mccune with t9
You can actually make the program behave that way by creating a settings file. However, by doing this it will take up most if not all of the screen

I dont like the fact that when ever I get a text message Pocket CM opens, I'd prefer just to have the normal notification... anyone know how to stop this - Also the whole loading previous conversations is way to looong!
I think I'd be happier if it were a contact manager and not a content manager.
I like the slickness of this program - Very good - waiting for the next release!
Hey guys,
Is it possible to delete the Windows on screen keyboard or to get another input option as standard, because it is absolutely useless and too small.
Thanks a lot!
people have experienced some serious issues with disabling it
if u don't use an on screen keyboard then try nullkb
use sktools

don't bother deleting the default keyboard, just try other keyboards such as spb keyboard or resco keyboard and make it as your default one.

The easiest way is to use SKtools.
Advanced Config has a setting under "Input > Auto deploy SIP:" to disable the soft keyboard in most situations, I find that works for pretty much everything except Opera. If I remember correctly Opera has it's own registry entry for stopping the SIP popup.
I don't like having the SIP at all either, it seems pointless considering we have a hardware keyboard, and I always prefer disabling and/or complete removal than adding more software to acheive the required result.
The on screen keyboard is indeed useless. Is there a way, without installing apps, to disable it?

SIP = software input panel = stupid archaic useless microsoft tiny keyboard popping up everywhere
WinMo was designer TEN YEARS AGO for 320x240, 32MB RAM devices, and has not changed to date... SHAME Microsoft...
I've dealt a lot with opera:config and I've not found where to disable it yet
can someone point to where the SIP is on Advance Config? Can't seem to find it. Thanks.
How do I set the htc keyboard to be default?
Start Menu -> Settings -> Input -> set your Inut Method as "Full QWERTY" if that's the HTC one. I'm suprised nobody answered you, it's quite simple.
My Bad, it doesn't work after restart.
Has anyone here noticed this yet?
Sorry if it's already been posted.
I've installed it on my X1 and have to say it the best keyboard I have ever used on a pocket pc!!!
Check the Touch HD thread...

Open up Skin-01-global.txt in notepad and delete the following line:
ClickSound click-0.wav
Make sure not to edit in Word, use the simple notepad you have in every Windows.

Found that in the thread. The sounds do go away in vibrate/silent mode as well.
I'm using this...love it.
Attempting to cook it into my latest ROM. Thanks for the heads up
Does it mess up the "au" key on the hardware keyboard?
my au key and my sym key don't work but i'm not sure if that is cause of me or cause of the keyboard

thanks a lot for your help.i ll try this trick.
I want to ask... does it have auto-correction of mistyped words (like PCM Keyboard and the others)?
It keeps saying "no T9" for this new keyboard, but does that mean it has no auto-guess/auto-correction for your typing? because if it doesn't, its much less powerful, even if it is prettier.
Thank you for a great keyboard!!

fingerkeyboard doesn't mess up with the hardware key mapping.
you have probably installed some other SIP/keyboard software that modifies the registry setting.
If I install this, will the hardware keyboard lose it's suggested words?
[Update May 10 2010:]
Huge thanks to Soul72 for adding other language support to MaxKey:
- English
- Italian
- German
- Norwegian
- Hungarian
Just follow the instructions below, but download the file below ending in "multilanguage." The other version just has English.
[Original Post:]
Ready for a screen keyboard that's easier to type on? This is a reconfiguration of the fabulous FingerKeyboard 2.1, so all respect to Exidler and Rozenthal. I have maximized the size of the keys as much as possible, focusing on keeping the edge keys further in given that protective cases may make these inaccessible. I also made the symbol keys much more standard (no longer 10 types of smiley faces!!! ) Moving the p and q up is a bit unorthodox, but I think you'll be pleased with the result.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE INSTALLING:
- You must have FingerKeyboard 2.1 installed for this to work
- FingerKeyboard must be installed on your device, NOT on the card
- The file that does not say "multilanguage" is is only for ENGLISH
- You can close MaxKey by pressing and holding the spacebar
- The attached cab also installs the X1 SoftTouch tweak to maximize your screens responsiveness, for best keyboard performance
- At the moment, uninstalling this requires a few steps that are relatively simple:
- - - Uninstall "Paco SoftTouch MaxKey 0.1" under Settings/System/Remove Programs
- - - Rename /Program Files/FingerKeyb/skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng-bak.txt to skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng.txt
- - - Move skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng.txt to /Program Files/FingerKeyb/Skins
- - - Next time you RE-select FingerKeyb in the SIP selector, the regular key configuration should be back
Install directions:
1. Install FingerKeyboard 2.1 to your device (not card!)
2. Download and install the SoftTouch MaxKey cab that is attached at the bottom of this post
3. Open the SIP selector which is the tiny triangle to the right of the keyboard selector in the middle of the bottom menu bar
4. Select FingerKeyb, and the MaxKey keyboard configuration should appear
5. To unistall, see above
If there is interest in this, I can try to keep developing for other languages and to make improvements based on suggestions. Donations would be highly appreciated.

ChangeLog:
0.1 - First release
0.2 - Fixed the " and ? keys; slight tweak to symbols layout

Sorry, what do you mean by "compact qwerty?" Do you mean fewer rows of keys, like 4 rows instead of 5?
finger keyboard does not support compact qwerty(yet at least)
thats great ring-bearer....i ll give it a shot
btw from where u got that cool battery icon on top?
Compact qwerty would be nice, but I think it would probably conflict with the FingerKeyboard2 keymap, since a compact qwerty only has 12 buttons.
If you don't know how a compact qwerty looks like, take a look at an old mobile phone without touch screen or hardware keyboard and notice that the function of every key carries a number of letters, that you get by pressing various numbers of times. For example; I want to write "C". I press the number 2 three times, and the C appears.
I think it would be possible for someone to make a compact qwerty, since there is one in the new Touch Pro 2's and Diamond 2's. Also, if you look at the Xperia default dialer (or any dialer for that matter), there are 3 to 4 letters on every key - there's your ready made compact qwerty. Of course I don't know anything about making this myself, I'm just looking at the posibilities of someone making it.

/Felix

Hope you like it! I do think it has made a moderate difference in ease of text entry.
The great set of icons is from one of gtrabs' collections. I think it's the "X Series"

If you mean a keyboard where there are two letters on each key, there is a Touch IT compact qwerty that I believe Itje has made available.

Good pickup - thanks a lot. I have uploaded a fixed version to the first post:
SoftTouch_MaxKey_0.2
Ah, looks like I was confused about the names - what I meant before was ''Phone Keypad'' and you can get this with EzInput so nevermind
Anyways, is it possible to get swedish? The only difference is that long press on J gets an Å, long press K gets you an Ä and L gets you Ö. That would be great!
this is most amazing keypad out there!
keypad vey responsive!
can i request something?
is it possible to remove the page up down etc.
on "EN" coz' you know in xperia they have some sort of a mouse to scroll
so that there will be more space for a key! very usefull if there will more space to press a single key.
and some character in the third row and so fort have minimal spacing
maybe it can help if you can try to edit this?
but you know this proram works well for me is just maybe you can do
enhance it for x1 users? thank you in advance!!! nice work

Yeah, I can try to do something like that. I also want to work on the placement of the 'enter' and 'backspace' keys because they aren't optimal right now. But the main problem for me was the size of the qwerty keys, and those are now as big as they can get without inventing a whole new layout. But I agree that those directional buttons are not highly needed. I also still want to develop for the other languages people requested, but it may be a couple of months because real life is crazy busy for a while.
I could also try to make a SIP much more tailored to the X1 from the ground up. My C++ skills aren't great though but if anyone wants to PM me the 'dvoraksip.sln' code that comes with the Windows Mobile Version 5.0 SDK, I could probably modify that. I just don't have the SDK or the example code that comes with it. Anyone?
Thnx for the keyboard.. Its just made my XPERIA perfect!
But I have a question.. When I open the keyboard on my phone, the bottom bar dissappears.. Is this something you programmed it to do, to maybe give larger screen above the keyboard, or it something wrong with my config?
This layout isn't very nice. I prefer a normal qwerty layout.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. To answer your question:
No, I didn't program that feature in. That is a changeable feature of FingerKeyboard. Just go to programs/fingerkeyboard/options then change Portrait from "Hide bar" to "Show bar."
You'll be all set!
I've been trying to get these keys mapped to other functions on several different ROMs with AEButtons (performance is bad) and Rhodium Keyboard Controller. I really like the RKC program but for some reason it seems to make the on screen Start menu and Settings menu become unresponsive in 6.5 ROMs (218XX ROMS). I really need to stick to a 218XX 6.5 ROM but I don't want to give up this functionality. Is there another way to map these keys without this program or is there something that I'm missing?
BTW, I'm using a T-Mobile USA version. And I'm mapping the software to a program called Task Switch, which is basically like using Alt + Tab in Windows OS to toggle btwn open programs. It seems to be the Keyboard controller program that's causing the error but I haven't rulled out that it may be Task Switch as well. Anyone else have this problem or other suggestion for mapping keys?
Tarkin keyboard controller is the absolute best.
It allows you to remap any key to many different option, including translations of other languages.
There are some big threads about it.
