Physical Keyboard ?

When I use the Physical Keyboard it randomly inserts periods. I'm running the latest build of Cyanogen but it's been doing it on older donut builds...thoughts?

It's meant to add a space when you press the space bar twice. Go to Settings > Locale and text > Device keyboard and uncheck auto-punctuate.
If it's not that then it could be an issue with the HTC IME activating when it's not meant to.

No one likes a pedo, glock

But if we didn't have any pedo's, then we wouldnt have special victim units

Use multimedia button to force screen rotation?

Is there a program that will do what the title of the thread suggests? That is, I want to be able to force whatever screen is currently displayed to rotate to landscape when I press the multimedia button. I do not want any auto-rotation. I want to be able to completely control when the screen rotates.

You can do it under the buttons menu in settings
I have mine set as 'Okay'

I'm sorry but I don't see that option. When I select Buttons -- Multimedia Key it only allows me to assign a program to opne or some simple commands such as <OK/Close>, <Context Menu>, <Scroll> etc.

[Q] wtf a button on my keyboard is gone

This is very weird.I'm not quite sure when it happened. Ive put different keyboards on my kindle,but now the default keyboard has a blank slash key.it has the rectangle but no key.It only works on some input boxes.When I click the button it force closes the keyboard.Has this happened to anyone else.Any way to fix it.I don't want to do a factory reset because I will have to re root.

I have this blank spot too but that is because i have Voice Search. The blank box on mine is supposed to hold voice search button, but I'm not sure about yours..
Hope this helps!

Yeah

Yeah swype works just get it from http://www.swype.com/category/get-swype/ ... You have to install it the root way. But I acctually wasnt talking about swype. Tswipe is different but I like it better than swype.

On 6.3 the blank tile is now filled and voice search is still installed!

Sure did. Someone got a bonus for hiding that setting. Thanks!

Cheers!

The keyboard itself has a shortcut to settings. No need to go through the menus =)
