Not sure if I am dreaming this up. But I think my onscreen keyboard changed. It looks smaller to me and when in horizontal mode, the keyboard doesn't stretch across the screen. Can someone confirm what their onscreen keyboard looks like? Maybe post a screenshot. Mine is light blue and all of the keys are really small.
Thanks,
Z
If you're talking about this:

Just click the up arrow next to the keyboard icon at the bottom and change your input type to full qwerty and you'll get the nice TP2 keyboard back
Thanks ajpatel. That was exactly what I was looking for. I am glad I wasn't dreaming about the keyboard being different
I am trying to figure out how to make it so that the on screen keyboard doesn't show up every time there is a place to enter text when in the vertical mode.

I'm not trying to be rude but why would you not want the keyboard to show up in portrait view? How else are you going to enter text if the physical keyboard isn't slided out?

Because not all the time there is a field do you need to enter data
For example when viewing a web page there may be fields to log in or comment, but all you care about is reading the content.

I don't take it that way, but Telek listed the reasons why. I just would rather bring it up when I want it, rather than it coming up no matter what...

Hi everyone!
I stopped using the dodgy default keyboard and switched to the HTC keyboard. Wow, it's a whole new phone now! One question though, I use IM a lot (ebuddy, msntalk and msndroid) and everytime I go to the landscape keyboard, it fills up the whole screen so I cannot see what someone has just said while I'm typing. Is there anyway to stop the landscape keyboard from filling up the whole screen (similar to the iPhone)?
Thanks!

Use Better keyboard with custom skins keyboard sizes its accurate and fast and doesn't use the whole screen cost as little a couple of dollars with load of additional skins to install too for free.
Doesn't quite work. When I go into landscape mode on ebuddy the keyboard and textbox still cover the whole screen. Is there a setting to remove the textbox so I can see what is going on in the app?
I need something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As opposed to this:

If you use htc_ime by jonasl then you can go into Setting -> User interface -> No landscape fullscreen
Just check that box and you will get what you want
I use v27 of jonasl htc_ime_hires

I love my nexus 5 but UIs that require me to touch the top left of the screen are hard to reach. Is there any way to apply a per app hack where the top bar can be stretched or maybe lowered? I appreciate I won't be using all of the screen but it will be worth it for a few specific instances e.g. gmail and hangouts.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying your problem is. Everything should be adjustable per your preferences by default. Maybe you can elaborate in more detail.
Had this issue with my Samsung note 2... One of the reasons I bought the nexus 5 is it fits my hands and my thumb can reach the entire screen. This doesn't answer your question but it was my solution to this problem.

Your picture actually did a great job of explaining what you meant to say. I understand now.
Silly question/statement, but do you know that pressing the "Back" arrow in most cases such as that should take your back to where you were. Most often, that specific option like you displayed, that you can't reach, can be activated the same way by hitting the back button.
There are however, plenty of apps and situations where you need to hit an option in the top left corner and the back button will NOT do this action. I have big hands and have gotten used to being able to tap something on any section of my screen.
You could try installing a mod/app to enable custom gestures in which you can swipe a gesture towards the right and set it to that function. (ex: gesture enabled when you swipe from the center of the right towards the middle, it activates a "back" option.
You can try installing "GMD Gesture Control" for this.
Just a suggestion?
Thanks for your reply! I didn't realise the back button could cater for some of these scenarios. I also didn't realise I could swipe from the left for a lot of these apps. This caters for most of the scenarios so I'm happy now, thanks!
Grabbing anywhere on the left edge of the screen and sliding right does the same as pressing the icon up high. Same goes go for play store.
good day.
Hello all.
Just a random question on a previous rom on the note 3 sprint one of the developer (Sac) had a keyboard app that would allow you to draw using your spen and send it .
I haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know of any key board that would allow you to write for text message and send out pictures that have been drawn on the keyboard ap.
Thank you
Just hover your pen over the text box, then click on the icon that pops up. That will let you write your texts.

Yes I know that part but there was another keyboard that would allow you to draw something and it would send out the picture you drew. Example I would draw hearts on the keyboard and send the heart hand drawn, or if I would draw something I can send it ...

Yeah i remember that! Sac's rom was cool! I used his, freeza's fre3 rom, and kitkatkiller (formerly jellybomb), and the drawing pad overlay was really cool! I can't say I've seen anything like it lately tho...it's Sac still around? Maybe he'd be willing to try porting it to our 5's?

It's not a real tactile keyboard but at least it's a new landscape keyboard-ish phone with new hardware. I'm disappointed it is a screen but if it's customizable then that would make a bit more sense instead of it just being a silly gimmick. I don't need a camera button on my keyboard, I'm not sure what's beside the 1 key or the left/right arrows, I don't need a symbol button where backspace should be and it looks like a whole row worth of space is wasted where there is just the speaker symbol.
It might be better than the landscape mode blackberry options though but there's no way I'll be able to type on it without looking as well as having a tactile and real physical keyboard. At first I thought it was a real keyboard and got so excited. I have come down off that high now.

Damn...it was a hoax. Just some sort of concept art someone was using to get their name out there for graphic design.

Not sure if this was posted previously, please share. Coming from the same folks that developed a keyboard mod for the Moto z phones
Sincerely hope the device is successful
I have a love for QWERTYs (look at my past phones). Spread the word please!

instead of adding that in a 2nd post, you should edit your OP to remove the unsourced clickbait fake pic and rumors... then replace it all with the actual *factual* new landscape slider, which *is real*, has *legit sources*, and details could be found since mid to late 2018, now directly at https://www.fxtec.com/pro1 or just delete this "fake news" thread entirely.
I'm still struggling between Samsung Keyboard and Gboard.
I've always used Gboard but the possibility to have the keyboard switching automatically to handwriting when extracting the sPen is very useful.
What I do not like of Samsung Keyboard though, and for which I'm asking if there's a solution:
1. There is no dedicated emoji key on the left of the spacebar: Gboard has full-stop on the right and both comma and emoji on the left. Samsung Keyboard has full-stop on the right but only comma in the left. The comma can be replaced by emoji (long press comma and choose emoji), but the you lose comma.
2. When in handwriting mode, if you write on multiple lines, it'll convert text in multiple lines. Gboard when converting keeps everything on the same line, which makes more sense.
Thanks for comments, tips and suggestions.
I have the dedicated emoji on my Samsung keyboard. It's at the top left hand side of the keyboard tool bar. Try swiping to the right to see if it's there.

You can assign keys, don't know about that one though. The Samsung keyboard is the best as far I'm concerned. Been using the same layout for the last 7 years.
