Is there a way to customize the Touch Keyboard? When in landscape mode, I wish there was an ' (Apostrophe) located on the main QWERTY layout.
I don't use the dumb button. Is there a way to replace it with an Apostrophe?
Any other ideas? Possibly add a quick launch of some sort, like long press a certain key or something?
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
I'm using a stock Atrix, Original ROM, Unrooted, Motoblur. (Just how god and AT&T wanted it to be LOL!)

Hello
The QWERTY keyboard has a 'minimise' button to make the keyboard dissappear. The 'Phone Pad' does not... anyone know why, and whether there's any way of acheiving the same result...?
Thanks
When I used to use the HTC_IME mod keyboard on my hero, it didn't have the button to get rid of the keyboard either, but you could use the back key to get rid of it. Maybe this will work?
I have it on my phone ?
Where is it you don`t have it ?
I've used 3 different types of keyboards and finally settled on SlideIT and holding the "Menu" button usually minimizes the keyboard.
Press the back arrow key to minimise the phone keypad
Spock with the 'back' button is that, in some apps (such as Android Market), it takes you back to the previous page rather than just minimizing the keyboard. A small but annoying fault...
I like the Phone Keypad but it doesn't always offer T9. I don't understand why it's available in Messaging but not in the browser. I don't get it.
Is there a quick way of changing the keyboard? I find I use QWERTY for some apps, Phone Pad in other apps....
long press (3 secs or so) on the screen where you are typing, then release, you should get a pop up displaying, "input method" or something like it, click it and select they keyboard you want from the list.
that's it

Thanks for the quick reply.... however that doesn't work for me. When I long-press I get text select/copy/paste options.

Thats for changing the version of keypad youre using. Think the op still wants the HTC keypad just a quick option from moving between phone keypad and qwerty.
Id also like a quick way of swapping. Used to have it on my other HTCs with a settings key on bottom left but isnt there on this one.
Only 2 options i can think of. 1) install the HTC_IME keypad mod from another phone or 2) quickest way is to turn phone to landscape mode.

I think this is what you are looking for, but you need to be rooted. http://www.droid-life.com/2010/11/1...oose-keyboard-depending-on-phone-orientation/

Hmm, if so, the question posted is really unclear
so to test my understanding, if I use the keyboard that came with the phone, on the bottom right (in portrait mode) there is this button [12#], if I press this, I get a keyboard for symbols & numbers, this is not what you mean?
Or do you really want a keypad, like your keyboard has or the phone option shows?
I know the G2 has the three hardware keyboard shortcuts, I was wondering if theres any way to make one of the(specifically the left one) another 'alt' button... seems like they put the alt button in a weird spot(to me at least, compared to older phones), and the shortcut button is always getting pressed instead of the alt button.
I looked through the menus to set the shortcut, but no 'alt' button there.. Any help would be appreciated.
Running eViL's MT4G rom, if that matters.
I don't think so. I would love to have this as well, though.
I don't like how there are configurable keys, but they can only be configured to launch apps. I would rather them be the [, ], or < key because I use those in some of my account passwords.
There is a way to remap the keyboard, so I would think would be a rather simple remap. You'll need to be rooted and all that. Check on the development subforum, it's there somewhere.
Hey guys,
This puzzle is really stumping me:
- I have the TF101 running ICS.
- I can't figure out how to trigger the task switcher from the keyboard
- The lack of a keyboard function analogous to ALT-TAB makes the use of the TF101 as "laptop replacement" tough
I've tried looking in the settings for this ROM, and nothing appears to address this. I've also tried logical combination of the Fn, Home, Search, and Menu keys, as well as Shift, and Ctrl. Nothing seems to trigger the Task Switcher (probably because this tablet may not have shipped with ICS?)
Any thoughts?
If this ability isn't built-in somewhere, would there be a way to map a keyboard key to this function manually?
(I don't have the skills to delve into source code, or modify ROMs, or anything like that)
task switcher on the transformer is just alt-tab. it brings up the old gingerbread task switcher instead of the honeycomb/ics one but it still works
Also longpress on "Home" launches it
On JB and RaymanFx B4
Hey,
Thanks for the tip re: Alt-Tab. While it doesn't bring up the ICS task switcher, it's still better than nothing . Though the fact that ALT is on the right side of the keyboard only, will take some getting used to.
I'd still love to find a way to get the ICS switcher up, via the keyboard. Long press of HOME doesn't do anything for me
Cheers
Hi, I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy S4 and prefer to use the on screen navigation buttons that can be enabled in CyanogenMod. Therefore, I have no need for the physical hardware home button. Is there an easy way to disable it? Thanks!

I only skimmed the thread, but it looks like the instructions there will let you do what you want.
