I hear some people almost never use the qwerty keyboard and just use the numkeys with t9 instead.
So, how often do you use your qwerty? Do you use it at all?
I use the keyboard a lot. If I need enter more than one word, I use the qwerty. I write many lines of notes, IM... Now I dont wait until I come to computer and reply to mails imidiately. It's really useful for me.
(Maybe you could make a poll. )
lots
I use mine everyday. Got free sms's every time i load my sim so i type a lot and spam all my m8's hehehe

Thank you, a poll is added. Let the voting begin!
Me. I hate numeric keypad with T9 - vote for keyboard! 1+
I disabled the XT9 garbage (it was so annoying with the qwerty). The keyboard is why i bought the phone.
It's good though having the phone pad for quick input. I used to have a Wizard and hated having to slide the keyboard out every time I needed to input something (I know there's a soft keyboard on PPC but they're far too fiddly!).
One other thing I like about the Wings QWERTY keyboard is that you can access most of the secondary keys by a long press instead of having to press the Fn key first. I thought it only applied to the number section but discovered by accident that it works on all keys with an alphabetical base key.
All I need to do now is work out how to map different function keys - I use '&' a lot but having to press Fn+Sym, then navigate the symbol grid is a pain.
I have same problem. I am spanish and I use spanis characters that can only be found in Symbol screen... and it takes too much time!. Any way to make shortcuts?
****ing Never
I use the Resco Keyboard Pro.
Does Resco Kb Pro works for Smartphones? I have only found it for PPC... and idea where I cand find it? How does it solve the problem?
Thanks indeed!

yeah your'e right need a ****in stylus. sorry went brain dead there.
There should be a way to redefine little blue simbols in keyboard buttons so I cand obtain spanish accent or spanish N instead of, i.e, ; or whatever.
Any other idea?
Thanks for your try, anyway...
sometimes i type fast and then the keyboard cant catch up with me. its really annoying. why cant the stupid processor not keep up with the input?? i also noticed that while im typing fast, some letters are missing.
does this happen to you too??
is there any solution?
I really didn't notice that; I am not very fast typing... my problem is that I can not type with XT9 while I am looking to the screen to ensure that the word choosen is the word that I want to writte... well, I can, but it's a very slow procerss.
This is ehy I like to writte with ABC, but having the option to input spanish characters in a fast mode ...

Is that a special kind that you insert somewhere?
Does anyone else have the following problem ?:
When you go to the SMS tab, and press the small box to start writing new SMS, if you use the original Diamond keyboard, you can just type a few letters of your contact and it will fully appear. If you use TouchPal (I'm using version 3.5), this feature is disabled, you have to type your entire contact name every time, it doesn't recognize the first few letters and try to find a match. This is SO annoying !
Please tell me there is some workaround...
Could it be that the Diamond's original keyboard stores all the contact information in the Keyboard dictionary ?, if this is true, it means no keyboard apart from Diamond's original will allow quick find of contacts in SMS...
no problem with me..
say for eg you wanna call "home"
just press H O and enter and then it will detect home in my contact.
i suspect the problem may be.. touchpal "store" what you pressed in its own list instead of going up to the SMS directly..
Same problem. Would love to see an solution, but I think there is none...
Wizard,
Do you have the Touchpal keyboard ???
its free for personal use available online..
The contacts don't display when you start typing, but if you only type a few letters and then press send a page appears with all contacts that have the letters you've typed in their names. You can then tap the contact you wish to send to.
I don't find it a problem.

Hi all - can anyone explain how to cut & paste text using the keyboard on a HTC TYTNII when typing, similar to Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V in Windows? (eg. SMS messages or emails). It's a pain having to using the stylus.
Thanks
I dont think there is one.

He means the hardware keyboard. No solution AFAIK.
I don't think there is an existing way on the hardware keyboard. And I'm not entirely sure how you would go about doing this, but maybe you could somehow remap one of your lesser used keys on the hardware keyboard (Like the TAB or OK key on mine) to the equivalent of the "ctrl" key on the soft keyboard. I'm sure it is possible, on my NEC Mobilepro 900c running an earlier version of windows CE (About Equivalent to PPC 2003), I found a free program that could remap the hardware keyboard so the arrow keys would be how they are on a normal desktop. I'm sure there's some obscure value in the registry. Well, like I said, I'm just kind of speculating, and none of this stuff may even be correct. Good luck though,

Hello, thanks for reading. I am having trouble with the default terminal emulator on my rooted MyTouch running Cyanogen's latest build 4.2.11. Commands typed in terminal do not execute using the "enter" key on the soft keyboard, although entering them with the other keys appears to function as would be expected. Any ideas to get around this. Using other terminal emulators works fine, I just don't see the use in having multiple apps doing the same thing if the default should work. If I set an initial command in the app settings it will execute that. Any advice is appreciated thanks!
try "better terminal" (free version) or press the "ball + j" for emulating the enter-key.
regards,
U.
Hi,
I've got the same problem with my CyanogenMod 4.2.11.1 ROM as OP mentioned. Are more people experiencing this?
Also there isn't a "better terminal" free version on the market, but I'm guessing it doesn't make too big a difference which application we use for the terminal, right?
Cheers,
DT
Touch input
if either of you are using touch input try going to locale and switching back to the android keyboard. I had this problem just yesterday and this seemed to resolve the issue.
Hey I have the same issue.
I switched back to the original keyboard and now it works
However I cannot enter numbers now :S
Anybody else have this issue?
Thanks for the suggestions
Thanks all for the suggestions, I didn't even think that I was using an alternative keyboard. Here's what I found:
@Woodguy: ball as in "trackball+j" doesn't do anything for me whilst using the Touch Input keyboard but does when using the original. thanks for the suggestion.
@Budgetkuts ans Jazz: same here orig keyboard works fine.
So has anyone figured out if Touch input keyboard works on the original emulator yet? It just seems silly to have to emulators, one for each keyboard?
Ok this is strange - Using the touch input keyboard I have to use trackball + j for enter and then it works.
The enter works on the Android keyboard but not numbers lol
What is going on?
I use ball + m as enter when using the HTC keyboard with the terminal in CM.
Ball + m
This works great. Odd that enter key wont work. Anyhow it works great so thanks for this post.
Trackball+ 'J' is the key
Thanks everyone for the suggestions sorry for the delay...just like me to get what I need and not acknowledge my resources. Thanks!
As per topic. Is it possible to do that? I mean, without the needs to press long on each word to save it.

Wow, that was fast, I'm using the keyboard that comes with CM6, if it's not possible to do it with that keyboard, which keyboard is capable of saving those words automatically?

i have never used CM so i cant tell you about your keyboard, however most keyboards will automatically add a word to the dictionary once you hit space, others like the HTC keyboard give you an option to add words with one press. It all depends on the keyboard.
I'm using the HTC IME keyboard and it automatically adds a new word you type that it does not recognize.

On the default CM keyboard, if you have the predictive option turned on and you get that bar of words above your keyboard... type in a word and hit space... you'll see in that same bar it points to the word you just typed and tells you to tap the word to add it to the dictionary.
