Keyboard - Nexus One General

Anyone know how to bring up the keyboard when there is not a text field? To find a song or a contact?

Hold the menu button for a few seconds.

Slide out keyboard

You know how we have to press the button with the circle on it as a kind of "shift" key to get numbers, etc? Is there any way of "locking" this on - at the minute if I want to type, say, a phone number I have to either a) press this key before every number or b) try hold it in, which makes typing awkward.
Cheers
Press the circle key twice to toggle symbols/numbers on and twice again to turn it off again...
D'oh! Thank you!

SMS - graphical send icon

41. Enable Graphical Send Icon Button in HTC Messaging
To send a text message you need to hit the left softkey button. The following registry tweak adds a graphic send button above the paperclip button. It also changes the 'send' left soft key to a 'back' soft key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\LSK_Send_Msg
Change from 1 to 0.
Can someone please explain me what this does?
Instead of "Send" you have "Back" in the bottom-left corner?
I am not sure I understand this...
Thanks
Well I dont have PPC right now, but it clearly states that it fives you new graphic button for sending SMS. And your old softkey changes to "back" instead. Thats about it right?

As you won't need to use the left soft key should you use this registry tweak, I don't suppose it matters what it is changed to...

Keypad question

I had my keypad open in portrait mode and next thing I know it's not the letters, numbers or symbols window. It was some sort of page up, page down type of window. Now I can't get it back. Anyone know how to activate it?
Yeah, swipe from the Swype Key to the SYM Key to bring that screen back.

Laptop Dock Keyboard Shortcuts??

I did a bunch of searches to see if this topic has been brough up before and I couldn't find anything, but if I just missed it then I apologize.
I am wondering if there are any keyboard shortcuts available while using the "Mobile View" via the laptop dock. For example, I have text messaging open, I type a text message and I would like to use a keyboard shortcut to send the text message rather than having to click send.
TIA!
Blax.
Try Control-Enter. That works in Handcent at least.
No luck, the control key seems to be the same as hitting the "menu" button on the device.
Not sure how the laptop dock has the keys mapped, but you should be able to remap the Control key to send 0x25 (left) or 0x6d (right) using xev (to figure out the default keycode of that key) and xmodmap (to remap it to send those keycodes). Maybe try Alt-Enter?
Press Tab until Send illuminates in orange, then press Enter. It only works half the time though for some reason. Hope this half-way helps!
i noticed this problem since the last update...

Alright, FOR SURE how to do it is when you get to the end of your text message, press the right arrow and it will highlight send. It works every time, unlike pressing Tab.
