keyboard - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys, finally I've my moto x play right there next to me. I really like the device but I've a question, is there a way to change the comma key in the keybord at the left of the space with the apostrophe key?

i think you have to use swift keyboard for that. Google keyboard is not customisable.

change keys on keyboard?

Does anybody knows if it posible to change the assinment of the keys on the keyboard?
I would like to change the Windows Startbutton into CTRL, So i can easy use CTRL C and CTRL V.
Do i have to change the keybddr.dll for it?
Not to be a "me 2"er, but I am looking to swap the comma and period. They're on the same key, but I have to use the "Option" button (round dot) to get a comma. Well, when I'm option-locked and typing numbers, I use the period a lot more than when I'm typing letters. I'd like to see a way to simply swap those two functions on that key.

what's your favourite keyboard ?

Do you use deafult keyboard, better keyboard, swype keyboard, smart keyboard ?
what ?
thanks
Default. i wish there was a keyboard like fingerkeyboard for WM - fully customisable.
I don't actually like any keyboard for this phone but about the best one is Slide Keyboard and its free. The buttons are much larger than the standard and its easy to work out.
I'm hating default keyboard because i keep hitting settings button, plus predictive words won't work in all forms (like here, i can't get words predictions and i can't understand why)
I'll try slide keyboard
Thanks
EDIT: unfortunately the italian dictionary for slide keyboard is not "available" on the tattoo market !

[TIP] Shift + Backspace = missing Delete key

I find the dock for the Transformer very useful but the lack of a delete key frustrating. I suppose I could re-learn to type but I discovered a delete key work around.
Shift + Backspace = Delete!
Ta da
That's a good tip thanks.
Wish there was something similar for the on-screen ASUS keyboard!!!
That and cursor keys are sorely missed, especially when composing replies like this one using that soft keyboard...
I'd love cursors on the the soft keyboard. Thanks for the delete tip!!
I found this out too but I could'n't get it to work on all apps.
It happened to me with on-screen keyboard, but don't know how I activated and didn't kmow how to get rid of it. at the end I had to restart to get rid of the backspace - delete behavior.
Regards.

Cursor keys on the on-screen keyboard? Try Thumb Keyboard, also includes a handy TAB key, missing from many soft keyboards
Great tip Ratskin...I've had the dock since launch and never knew that!
Great tip I was missing it too. Working not in all apps, but enought

How to change QWERTZ keyboard layout to act like QWERTY?

I just activated a Blackberry Priv. However, i now notice that the lovely hardware keyboard is QWERTZ layout instead of QWERTY.
How do you switch the language/layout of the hardware keyboard? I cant find any information on this with google - only information on other blackberry devices. I don't get it, since I have the keyboard set to US English in the settings panel. There doesn't seem to be any other option regarding the layout?

My keyboard is QWERTY as it should be.
1) Did you update Blackberry apps from the Play store? If blackberry apps don't show in play store, then just search for "blackberry" in the play store and all needed apps will appear and update button will show.
If you have already done the first step, then go to settings>language & input>blackberry keyboard settings>input languages and here might be an update to the specific language.
I've updated the blackberry software, but still no options seem to effect the hardware keyboard. I can change the layout of the software keyboard, but it only seems to apply to the software keyboard.

By the way, do you see the on-screen keyboard when physical one is open?
No, I don't see software keyboard on screen when the hardware keyboard is out. Am I supposed to? That seems like it would be undesirable. I see just three suggested words along the bottom of the screen.
any luck with this? i would love to change freom qwerty to qwertz and have actuallz physically changed the keyboard already... but the setting to change it is missing
Same here. Just bought BlackBerry Priv with psysical qwertz and found that there is no tweak keys for that. I would like to change these letters virtualy, to press z and get y and opposite. How to do this. Help!
This will help solving it, install and swap y and z https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=innerlife.keyboard.multilanguagekeymapredefiner

Thanks, this worked! But now the number 7 is mapped to the Z key (alt + z), and alt + y brings out parenthesis. It's not a huge issue, but it seems there is not way remap alt + y so it will output 7 as it is in the original layout.
Also it seems there is no autocorrect available at all when using this keyboard? I was relying on autocorrect to put the right accents in Spanish, I can't seem to be able to enable this again even if I switch the language to Spanish.
In the end I created a custom QWERTZ to QWERTY keyboard for AnySoftKeyboard. It solves the issue of having Y mapped to parenthesis and Z to number 7 I mentioned above.
I made them for both English and Spanish (the Spanish one lets you write "ñ" by pressing "n" three times).
I also made a custom build of AnySoftKeyboard that make predictions work with the Key2 hardware keyboard. But if you just want the remapping, it works the fine with the official AnySoftKeyboard, just predictions don't work unless you use the on-screen keyboard.
Only tested with the BB Key2.

Hello raymccoy,
i tryed your workaround, but its not working on my Key2. I installt the Anysoftkeyboad from Your attachments and your languages apks. But my physical Keyboard does not change the layout. Can you tell me the steps to install?
Thanks
Marc
it does not work for me either. it does not remap anything, furthermore it crashes
I have to correct myself! it works, but it's necessary to install the last version of the app (from Playstore) to prevent it from crashing... AND it's necessary to show the virtual keyboard, otherwise physical keyboard remapping will not take place. Thankfully, the virtual keyboard can be made really tinyn so it will not be too invasive on the screen (see screenshot). Tested on BB Key2.

Which keyboard?

What keyboard are you using?
Google Keyboard
HTC Touchpal
Swiftkey
Other
i still use swype, mostly b/c i'm used to where all the punctuation is, and don't want to have to learn a new keyboard.
+1 lol Also I like the Swype shortcuts/gestures where yu can quickly capitalize, lowercase or ALL CAPS a word and also quick punctuation. Not sure if any other keyboard has this and it's a huge convenience.
I'm still trying to find one that don't put in a v or b when I press space. I have chubby fingers I guess. Or I'm getting old. I didn't used to have this problem.
