Change keys combination for keyboard layout switch - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I would like to change a key combination used to switch keyboard layout.
Currently it's Ctrl-Spacebar and I would like to have Alt-Shift or Ctrl-Shift.
Is there anyway to do this on Nexus 10 ?

Switch layout? I don't have a Nexus 10, just curious.

I do have two keyboard layouts: my native language and english.
I want to switch between them when writing texts but I don't like a default key combination.

If you are using the default keyboard, then you should be able to switch between languages by clicking the earth/world symbol close to the space bar.

I'm using an external keyboard, not a built in one. So there is no earth button on the keyboard.

Swype keyboard help please.

I have accidentally switched off swype keyboard and only get the stock Samsung keyboard for all typing operations now.
I still have swype settings in the main settings panel but no way to make swype the default keyboard that I can find.
Can anyone help me to reactivate swype please?

I think you can just press and hold the input area and you're presented with the keyboard option to use and you can just pick swype.
Does someone knows how do i use the speech to text on my sms? I'm kinda new to this android thing.
Thanks.

Way to switch hardware keyboards functions?

So I just installed DOSBox on my phone and the program doesn't recognise the 'FN' button making characters like : and / impossible. Is there any way to make them a one touch option on the keyboard?

I have found a way. Holding down the 'FN' button and hitting h or d works.

select input method in jellybean?

stupid question,
In previous versions of android, I could long press a text field to bring up the "select input method" box to quickly switch between keyboards installed on the device without having to leave the app I was in.
I don't seem able to do that in JellyBean?
I have Swiftkey 3 Tablet installed if that makes any difference.
Am I missing something obvious?
bring up the kb and long press space on stock kb
thanks, that's great,
but what I really want to do is switch from Swiftkey 3 Tablet to another input method like the handwriting input that comes with "7notes".
the more input methods you select in 'settings>language and input' the more options should appear to switch between. Or, is that not appearing using swiftkey?
long pressing space in swiftkey doesnt seem to do anything.
I have ticked boxes next to "swiftkey", "google voice typing" and "7notes mazec" in language and input settings.
The only way i have found to use the mazec one is to set it as default input method, but then I have to go back into settings
after I have used it to set swiftkey back as default.
When tap on text entry box a little keyboard icon should appear in notification bar. Swipe down and you should see option to change input method

As an example, on Omega rom i ran on the S5, the M key on the keybaord had a little ? mark on it, if i long pressed it, the ? would pop up, on my Note 4 stock W8 keyboard, the M key has nothing, when i long press on it, it doesnt do anything. I have to long press the . key to show up all the alternate characters.

That symbol can be achieved from root as long as I remember.
That's one bad of samsung keyboard, they don't enable symbol with long press.
If you're rooted try flashing the echoerom zip file over it. Hes loaded the keyboard with alt symbols on top and it works beautifully

I don't want to flash echo rom, I'm waiting for omega. But I downloaded the rom and tried to extract the keyboard apk but can't find it in app or private_app folder. Anybody know where it's found or what name it has?

Any help please??
If you go into the settings on the stock keyboard, you can set 'My hot keys'.
Assign pretty much anything to the number keys. Only downside, you'll have to remember what you set as there is no reference on the keyboard.

Don't have that on my keyboard. You would know where the keyboard apk is hiding in a rom wouldn't you? As of now, I'm back on SwiftKey but I don't like it as much as I keep typing the . Instead of a space
