I am looking for a better way of one handed use. I would wonder pretty much if not someone else has thought about that as well...
Isn't there an input method that works by just using the jog dial? I mean something like:
UP - change current letter to next one (so change from "a" to "b", "c", ...)
DOWN - just vice-versa
RIGHT - add one character
LEFT delete one character
FITE - enter
Why I want that? To have a method to select a contact for a call by just using one hand in the car...
Any suggestions?
O god no
Better would be :
Keyboard on-screen, use the jog-button to move a 'cursor' over the screen. for example a key on the keyboard turns blue if the cursor is on top. Press the jog-button to select...
then you can move around on the keyboard and 'tap' key's onehanded..

Mate, I like your thinking, but how would you i.e. delete a digit if you tyoed the wrong key then?

Like you normally do with the stylus on the keyboard: With the backspace key
It's just alike typeing on the keyboard with the stylus, the only thing you cant't do is tap 'start' or 'ok'

Hehe, Johan, I think you missed my point, mate I want to use only my left hand while driving or walking... no stylus possible then...
I find it surprising that I seem to identify this as a problem while you all seem to be pretty happy the way you do it... am I missing something there?
Phone Plus
Check out Phone Plus:

Thanks, Jargon. I saw that and I have to admit it's probably the one coming closest to what I am looking for.
New and improved PhonePlus! version.
Much faster, less memory uses, more skins, more connectivity features, 2003 enabled, and much much more...

Might require some waiting for the XDA II version though

Read again... just go with the jog-button to the backspace key and press the jog-button...
OK, Johan, you're right there, mate! I installed it and played a bit with it. Yes, I can use it with just one hand, but puh... that browsing through contacts is not really a solution for me. I've got around 3,000 contacts in Outlook and they only way to use T9 is - again - either the fingers on the screen or the pen which both require more than just one hand. I was hoping I could actuallu select the keys via d-pad...
With the on screen keyboard?
In ConnectBot, this is accomplished by pressing the trackball followed by the letter i.

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
Hi There,
I know this is a stupid question, but i can't figure out how to do this and it's really bother me. When i click on the swype symbol once, the keyboard pops up.
How do i minimize this @%@% thing after i'm done? Touching it or tapping it, just bring up the keyboard menu. Double tapping it closes it and opens it.
This is getting pretty frustrating.
Hi,
Try to use the Back button.
It works on my Desitre.
Regards
I use to click it once, as the same thing that you've related occur when I double-click that.
Beside that, I don't know for a while how to fix it with another way...
If you figure it out, please, tell us!!
Regards and good Luck!
For me to minimize either swype or the default keyboard, I just tap the screen.....the section of the screen thats not the message I'm typing or the keyboard.
It's not great but works ok for me.
For me I just click on the centre keyboard button, with swype keyboard it's the hand with the squiggle. What version of swype do you have? I'm using 3.9
Click on the keyboard symbol, should close 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.

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.
