Is there a way to make the keyboard layout in Window Mobile 6 bigger? I have switched the layout icon in the keyboard setting to large, but I need it bigger for finger typing. The screen size of the Shift is perfect to have a virtual keyboard working; it would cut down on the wear and tear of sliding the keyboard tray every time in slate mode.

You might like one of the many full screen keyboards which are available, check the forum search or google. If you've installed RealVGA, you'll need a VGA version of the keyboard.
I was wondering if the layout could be mod to make it bigger instead of installing third party software. I am currently trying out the Resco Keyboard Pro and it's a great software.

I am using this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129404 which is really nice, but I find the samsung keyboard to be pretty basic.
so I am looking for a different keyboard layout which
- looks a bit like this one http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/2290/qqrhg4as_png.htm (has for example the comma , button on the main screen and also a separate button for smilies on the main screen)
- works in combination with the word / letter suggestion setting which should appear as soon as you begin to type (even though its activated in settings, this function doesnt seem to work with the samsung keyboard setting of this rom(/phone?))
- can be set to QWERTZ layout.
any ideas?
Hi!
My TF101 did its firmware update recently, and I noticed this afternoon that I can't use the QWERTZ layout for my keyboard (QWERTZ keyboard, BTW). I didn't have the problem before.
Everywhere in the settings, all keyboards (asus keyboard, dock keyboard) are set to French-swiss (that's the QWERTZ layout), and the dock is acting like a QWERTY. I rebooted, and search the forum, I discovered some had this problem in may 2011, but I haven't been able to find the thread answering the problem.
I don't know what to do, it's a real problem. I don't mind using any keyboard, even one with completely blank keys, as long as it acts like a QWERTZ. But a QWERTY is a real problem, I don't have the accentuated letters and the ç. (ç is ok, I don't really care, it's not that used, but the é,à,è, ^, etc. are used all the time).
What should I do ? Before the update, there wasn't any problem.
Thanks for your suggestions !
Edit : actually, I got my keyboard back by selecting as default input mode the asus keyboard. Normally, it switched automatically when the dock is connected, but apparently the update changed that. Anyway, I'm still interested in why such a hassle is necessary to remap dock keyboard when it should be doable in the parameters. Or there is something I haven't really understood ? I'd really like to know, I'm interested in these kinds of stuff. Moreover, I need to remap my Vaio P keyboard for the instant mode as no qwertz keyboard exists, but it's a proprietary system, so I guess I'll probably never be able to remap it...
Hi all,
I've been playing around with my wife's MS2, running Tezet's CM10. I've been trying to get her phone to be able to have two seperate keyboard layouts for the physical keyboard, namely English (QWERTY) and Hebrew.
So far the only solution I've found is to use AnySoftKeyboard with the Hebrew plugin from the market which allows me to change the layout on the soft keyboard and then when I pull out the physical keyboard the layout remains as selected. Any other keyboard (stock or otherwise) that I've tried reverts back to QWERTY when using the physical keyboard, although once I shut it the soft keyboard remains as selected.
Isn't there any way to have the same behaviour as AnySoftKeyboard on the stock keyboard or even better, on Swiftkey? Or some other way of doing it?
Thanks for any help!
Edit: Posted here and not on the CM10 thread because this has been the case on every ROM I have tried...
Hi!
Perhaps I'm being stupid and there is a way I cannot find but it's there. But I'm unable to discover how can I set different keyboards for the halo and the virtual one.
I would not like the same actions on both. For example, when in Halo, no autocorrection - specially on another language -, no auto capital letters after period, no space after inserted word, etc...) and I can adjust everything properly with the pal keyboard that comes with the tablet (and probably that will be the best working with this keyboard). But I would prefer thousand times to use the google keyboard when in tab mode, writing on the virtual keyboard. Not only I'm used to it, and it's the ones I use on my phone (so, it's more comfortable to have the same behaviour), but really I like it much more, and also I can have it configured in a different way (with autocorrection, space after word insert, and so on) that makes sense for me in a virtual keyboard, but not in a physical (or nearly physical) one like the Halo.
¿Any suggestion? Would be something that would make my experience with this tab wonderful...
Thx

For the virtual one, while typing mode (cursor on a field) look at the lower right of your taskbar. You should see a keyboard icon click it and set the input methods and settings there.
Yes, thanks, I'm aware of that. I meant to set different keyboards for virtual and physycal, not chainging each time...It seems not possible. It's a pitty. For spanish writing, dead keys are needen for accented vowels (á, é, ...) and it does not work properly in this keyboard on any keyboard but the special TouchPal that comes with the tab. But this is not a very comfortable virtual keyboard (and you have to disable adding spaces or capital letters to have a natural typing when physical). So I will have to change between them each time I change from physical to virtual. Fortunately, I'm doing most things on the halo, so I can manage.

Thanks, but that's not the point. As virtual keyboards there are many that work fine (I use google one, and love it).
The problem is that the Halo keyboard is not a real one, and when not in international English Qwerty (mine is Spanish) does the accented related things in a non standard way (first it drows the special accent character like ´ and then mixes it with the vowel, to give á or é or so. That's not how dead keys really work. It seems like a strange personalization of the keyboard for another languages that only works with its provided TouchPal. So, no other keyboard will work for writing in Spanish with Halo (and mine is physically impressed in Spanish, and I write usually in Spanish, so, I have no other option). But the adjustments, like the auto capitals and correction, added spaces and so (and the own TouchPal, that does not fit me as a virtual keyboard) to make it work fine as a "real" keyboard, are not good for a virtual one. So, I have to change among two different keyboards when I go for laptop mode to screen one.
Google keyboard, as a matter of fact, does fine with the halo. It needs no special adjustments, understands properly how works a real keyboard and a virtual one, needing no special adjustments... but cannot handle the á é í .... characters (basic in Spanish) because of the non standard procedure by the Halo. So, it's my choice for the virtual, but does not work (unless I'm writing english and don't need the accented characters) with halo.
I probably could use External Keyboard Helper to manage also efficiently dead keys (it's so programmable...), but, once again, would be useful just for Halo, but has no virtual interface.
So, I see that there is no option to have two different default keyboard apps for virtual and Halo, and that makes me to have to change continuously between both.
It's a pitty. Don't think that should be difficult to implement by Lenovo, and would have made live much more easy, really...
Thx
