Frustrated! Delete all key! - G2 and Desire Z General

Ok, here is my issue.
Is there away to disable the Alt - Del key so instead of deleting a whole section of text it just deletes one character at a time.
Sorry just been bothering me a lot lately.
I am on cyanogenmod 7

I use a alternative keyboard. Ultra keyboard. It only deletes one word with a alt and delete. I'm not sure, but other keyboards might do the same for free. As mine was a paid app

Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't pressing Del without the alt do what you want?
I'm confused.

http://support.swiftkey.net/discussions/problems/3576-g2-hardware-keyboard-comwww-key-doesnt-work Same problem right there
Basically if i am writing out along text and have to insert a few numbers so i press the alt key twice then i have to type a letter forgetting about the alt I type a number by mistake instead. I quickly see its wrong press the back space and there goes all my work.
That's happen to me a few times with like making smile face "=)" or using numbers or other characters "$" other then letters.
It's just an annoyance to have to retype a long text because of one key.

Yeah, that is what happened to me a lot. And it's for the hardware keyboard as well.

Ahh i see it will only delete full words instead of the full text box instead! Awesome!

Ha, been using this keyboard all day. I like! Don't know why I like it cause I hate swype. Been a Smart keyboard Pro user for months.
I like it. It seems to work well. I just wish it did a auto space after punctuation.

I did find that it will automatically put a . if you double space. But that doesn't help with questions.
Definitly like better than swype. I just could not get used to sliding and need to lift my thumbs. This is a great keyboard.

lol i could spend all day explaining the joke of a keyboard this is.
spend some time with it for awhile and u will see what i mean.
i rotate between swiftkey and a swype-like awesome keyboard with a prediction list that shows up while u slide ur finger around, its no longer on the market but its called shape writer. its available for download around the internet.
I like it a lot better than swype, which I use for portrait. It seems to be more accurate, and the word choice options are easier to use and less obtrusive.
For landscape, I normally use swiftkey, and I think swiftkey is much better for me. Swiftkey does a better job with correction, capitalization, and punctuation, has the option for space key to accept the main word choice, adds spaces correctly, and shows more of your typing at the top to allow for easier editing.
So, I think I'll program keyboard manager to use this for portrait and swiftkey for landscape.
Why are you guys comparing these virtual keyboards when we have a physical keyboard that's now working 100% with no key skips thanks to mkasick? Am I missing something? For quick texts, I sometimes use Swype myself but I use the physical keyboard for just about everything else and since the fix, it's been terrific.

Keyboard Help - Going Crazy

I know there are many keyboard topics, but I just can't find a one that works well on my Play.
-Smart Keyboard (Trial)
*Best keyboard for my needs, but it seriously slows the phone down after a day or two. As soon as I uninstall, everything starts working perfectly again.
-Stock Xperia Play
*Terrible. Doesn't remember contractions and doesn't have the mic button.
-Keyboard from Android 2.3 (free)
*Okay, but has a stupid emoticons symbol where the 'Enter' button should be during sms composition. I dislike the way it handles punctuation after typing out words.
I'm honestly starting to hate this phone because it's such a pain to enter data, no matter what I try. Never had issues on my old iPhone.
What is everyone using? And no, I don't want to use swype.
Thanks!

I use this one. Never noticed before about the emoticons button instead of enter until you mentioned it.
Doesnt bother me though. I dont see a reason to use enter for sms anyway. If you are going to write a novel, make an email

Did you know that you dont have to swype your finger to type? You can also just type normally without having to change anything. Even normal typing is much better using swype than the stock keyboard. First few days swype pissed me off but now i swear by it

[KEYBOARD] Stock Gingerbread Keyboard without smiley key

That damn smiley key was driving me insane, so I got the Gingerbread keyboard source from AOSP, got it to compile, and got rid of the smiley face button. Other than that, it's identical to the stock Android gingerbread keyboard, so requires 2.3+. Eventually I may figure out how to make it able to be turned on and off, but that would rather defeat the point. Enjoy!
(Note: you have to enable it in the Keyboard settings before you can use it, just like any other keyboard.)
The Eclipse project (source) is available here.
this sounds like a good thing for me because it also became annoying to me.
quick question though because i cant check out the keyboard mod yet, but does it remove the smiley key completely, or does it replace it with an enter key or something?
soon as i get the chance, ill install and see for myself
Nice. I like that it has been replaced with the enter key instead. I find that to be immensely more useful.
I replaced it with the significantly-more-useful return key.

The smiley key doesn't annoy me per se, but the fact that the Enter key was removed does. So now, it is impossible to have any semblance of formatting in your SMS'es.
Will definitely give this a go as soon as possible. This is definitely a must have as far as I am concerned.
Thanks, but i've a problem with your keyboard.
I turned on the vibrate on keyboard settings, but there is no vibration when I push a key.

It's probably because you've packaged up the WVGA keyboard file, and not the qHD version. The Sensation sports a higher res screen.

That would make sense, but I don't see why the same keyboard wouldn't work on all devices. I mean, looking at the code, I see nothing that would prevent scaling. I was never asked for a target screen size to compile for, nor do I see any way to enter it. If someone could explain a way to fix it, I would gladly rerelease a qHD-compatible version.

You should try and work it out that Long Press of the return key let's you select smileys. It's one of my favorite features of Perfect Keyboard. But non the less, good job.

Keyboard and typing problem

I was having a problem with my tablet that I thought a update might sort so I rooted it and tried a few different roms but am still getting the same problem when am typing something. You know when you make a mistake and you can touch the area you want to fix by either deleting or changing a letter well when i do that the the line wont stay on that spot it just shoots of somewhere else every time
I have the same problem!!!!!

LG keyboard suggestion problem

Noticed a problem with the stock keyboard. Many times if I go to click one of the suggested words on top it puts a totally different word in the text field, usually the word isn't even one that was on the list.
Anyone else notice this?

I love the keyboard with the numbers always being on top, makes it so convenient and its just my favorite but. I don't see an option to let you backspace to erase the whole word with once click if you change your mind or just put the wrong word up, I can't stand having to hold the backspace all the way through it. So I'm using Swiftkey for now which is an awesome keyboard but doesn't have that dedicated number pad along the top but actually has many features that I don't care about and tons of themes too. I hope someone tells me that backspace setting is under my nose so I can use the LG one hehe. :silly:

Yea I thought I'd be able to place the number keys up top when I purchased swift key but it won't. I much rather prefer the numbers up top.

Did you ever find a solution to this? It's maddening. I tap the word I want and some completely random word that wasn't even close to what I tapped (and wasn't in the list of suggestions) shows up in the text box. I have searched and searched and you are the first person I've found who has had the same issue. I love everything else about the keyboard so I'd rather not switch to a different one!
Come on peeps, #1 app in the play store for months now. SwiftKey is the best keyboard out there. Stock is a bad keyboard.
