I just bought my elderly dad an iconia. He's been typing away in Vietnamese with a keyboard and an onscreen viet symbols on the viewsonic gtablet.
The problem is honeycomb won't have an onscreen keyboard pop up if you have a usb keyboard plugged in. Please help me. Is there anyway I can enable both the physical and soft keyboards so he can type Vietnamese symbols?

I haven't tried it, but I would try tapping and holding the input field and see if a pop up menu comes up with the option of showing the soft keyboard?
I think you can push the up key on the tablet to bring it up, theres also settings i believe for the keyboard.

This is just for that app though, correct?
Is there a way to do it in any text field?
The leaked betas of the swype keyboard had a fourth keyboard with tab/up/down/left/right/page up/page down/etc. However, that seems to have been removed.
Just depends on the keyboard.

Is there any way to input a Tab into any text field with the Standard Android keyboard or the HTC keyboard ?
Swype actually still has the tab key.
If you swype from the info key to the sym key you'll get the functions keyboard which includes tab, up/down/ctrl/etc.

HAH!
WOW! How in the HECK did you find that out??
I did the entire tutorial and it never mentioned that. Swipe from the Swype key to the SYM key... How in the hell do they expect people to know that???
Anyway, I am mostly wanting this for the terminal to autocomplete file names. Unfortunately, swype isn't too useful in terminals... Switching keyboards back and forth is a pain (I used Swype for a few weeks, didn't like it).
I'll do this for now, but if anyone knows a way to do it with the normal keyboard, I'm still interested in that information!
[Edit]: Just tested it in terminal. Yeah damn that is annoying.
cd... tap cd on screen... few letters... swype to sym... tab... abc... few letters... swype to sym... tab, FFFFFFF
I read in the manual that you can change the layout of the keyboard. the only option I see is qwerty....how to do I make it show the cell phone keyboard?
Arrow
When you have the keyboard open, there is an icon underneath it, with an arrow pointing upwards. If you get your stylus out and press the arrow (not the keyboard icon), you will get a few options (Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY and Full QWERTY). I use full QWERTY but I do admit that the Phone Keypad is quite easy to use.
Hope that helps

Thank you Helped my out when I thought I had bricked my phone.
If I use the android default on screen keyboard instead of the Asus keyboard I get incorrect key mappings with the dock keyboard. It appears to use the USA layout where the @ key is above the number 2 instead of over on the rightas it should be in the uk keyboard layout
I guess this is related to the warning message when connecting the dock if you don't use the Asus keyboard about it nit behaving correctly
Is there a way to use the android keyboard and then still have the dock keyboard work correctly withuhaving it change back to the Asus on screen keyboard?
not that I know of. I also have issue with the ASUS default kb, I have to switch back and forth to use hard key mapping in console emulators. I haven't found a solution yet either.
There's a thread about changing the hardware mapping to the ASUS keyboard's for other keyboards. Search around.

I've tried using Tasker but it just prompts a pop up which is worse than default behaviour (where there is an unobtrusive icon in the notification area)
Any other ideas??

What keyboard do you use on your Iconia? And why?
I'm looking for a good keyboard, so tell me what you use.
I use SwiftKey X Tablet.. why?
I love the split keyboard where each thumb has the ability to reach each key if you're holding the tablet on landscape; like you're holding a steering wheel. With the default keyboard, your thumb normally cannot reach the center of the keyboard where letters TYGHVBN are.
Any other keyboards out there have special features out there that are designed for tablets? I want to know.
I use thumb keyboard on my A500. It was free on the amazon app store
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

The Logitech K400 is a wireless kb with trackpad that uses a small USB dongle. Instant response and the trackpad works.
For touch, I like the Swype keyboard. Zero complaints. For a tactile keyboard, I use an HP wireless USB mouse/keyboard combo that sat unused for years until I got my A500.
Try "any soft keyboard". Its a little obscure, but I turned off the word prediction and added a number row to the top. If you pinch out it will split the keyboard and if you pinch in it will put it back to normal.
+ 1 for Swype.... I use for tablet and phone
Hackers Keyboard for touch screen, and I just use my old folding Palm Bluetooth keyboard for longer typing. The Palm keyboard works perfectly, folds small, saw no reason to get something newer.
