Is there any way to get the comma key show up on the main layout of the stock keyboard? I really hate long pressing and swiping.
I remember there was a hack available for the Note 2 to enable this.

Suggestion, install Google Keyboard, waaaaay better, larger touch area, faster, and easier to type

multi language support too
But won't I loose s pen text input then?

Long press on the settings icon (the gear wheel) and you'll have the option to set that key as the comma key.
I prefer Hackers Keyboard and Swiftkey over Stock, tbh.

Try this keyboard:

There's an hide function, great word prediction and you can move the cursor with the volume keys.
You hide the keyboard by holding the menu-button down a second or two! Works everywhere and for bringing it up too!
Hey all, sometimes when I typed a wrong word with swype is there any better way to correct it? I wish there were arrow keys... It would be so much easier.

swype + opt

Just slide your finger from the lower left opt key to SYM key and this will enable the arrow keyboard.
Does anyone know if there's a good HC keyboard which has the longpress number keys?
I find it annoying to keep having to switch to number mode just to press a number then go back to word typing again.
Especially useful for WPA keys etc. where you have ABC1ABC... etc.
It's one of the things I disliked about the iPhone's keypad, and loved about the Desire's!
Thanks
Try Thumb Keyboard. It's in beta testing just now so you can get it free from here: http://thumb4beta.blogspot.com
I'm using it now and it's brilliant.

Same here, awesome!
Thumb Keyboard is definitely the way to go. There is one in the market but the beta works great and has better key placement.

You can press and hold the number key, slide to the number or symbol you want, then release and it will be back to the alphabet.

Great tip!! Makes life a lot easier! Tried the thumb keyboard but it takes longer to type/find the right keys and the xoom felt a bit too heavy after typing for a while.
Good tip Mikey, thanks.
I find Thumb Keyboard much easier to type and no problems at all finding the correct keys.

With the multi-touch keyboard, you can also hold the ?123 button with your left hand and select the number with your right. You'll still jump back to the main qwerty keyboard.
hi all i came across by accidentally.. when in keyboard mode ie typing if you swipe or finger from left to right it changes the keys to the number selection screen. so no more tapping the number page button,

that's not how it works.
swype from the swype-key to 5 and it will open the keypad
swype from the swype-key to the option-key and will open a edit-menu
I think he's talking about the other keyboard. Swype had other commands, too, such as:
Select All - Swype from Swype key to letter A
Copy - Swype to C
Paste - Swype to V
Omg thats soo helpful. Thanks for pointing that out!

Guess what, i didn't thought about that. I tested it on the normal keyboard and indeed it works.
Btw great tip

He's talking about Samsung Keypad. Thanks for the tip
Nice find,and to add also tap and hold space key than swipe left or right to change keyboard languageI'm sure there are other tricks as well.

Seems less reliable in it,s action, and more work than just tapping the number key.
This feature can be turned on or off in the keyboard settings.
Wow... thanks a lot! I also works on my Smart Keyboard Pro
So let me start out by saying I like the default JB keyboard. However it is missing 2 crucial things for me. A tab button and the ability to long press keys. Has there been any modding going on yet for the keyboard?
Long press keys work fine

I miss all the extra long-press characters, too. It used to be the top row could be long-pressed for numbers and stuff, and other keys for other symbols. I never use the accents anyway, though I think it is good that Google includes them.
I really like the new keyboard, too. I still use thumb keyboard instead, so I can have escape, tab, page up and page down keys, but I prefer how the default keyboard provides various punctuation. It's easy to get to the - and _ symbols, apostrophe and comma have their own keys, and so on.
The new look is very clean, though.

I'm going to try and use the keyboard from the cm9 rom on the touchpad since it has more options for long press keys and a tab button. Hopefully it installs.
Long press is working great on 4.1.1 keyboard. My question is if there is a way to enable popup on key press. Not only I like that feature but it helps me type also. Thanks!
Hacker's Keyboard from the Play Store will give you either the Gingerbread style keyboard or a full 5 row keyboard.
Both the Gingerbread and 5 row keyboard have the long-press feature on the number keys, with the full set of symbols. It also has popup keys.
The 5 row is a full keyboard with arrow keys, ESC, CTL, ALT, FN keys, etc. Works great in terminal emulator, it's essential with vi.
I use the 4 row Gingerbread in portrait mode and the 5 row in landscape. That's the default, but you can change it.
The only thing I don't like in Hacker's Keyboard is the click sound - it is much louder than the stock click. Probably easy to fix by swapping out a resource or sound file, but I haven't looked.
