Hi there, I've been googling but couldn't find any app which I could use as a Virtual Keyboard. When I use Opera 10 and if there is any flash content and if I want to put some text into textbox I'm not able to do that because nothing comes up. When I use Internet Explorer it's okay because there is keyboard button so i tap on it and i can write. So then, I am looking for app which will pop up keyboard , so i could use it when its needed. Or if there is any exe file which is suitable for showing the keyboard so i could use it as left softkey (press and hold).

Seriously, top right hand side of the page, learn to use it.
did you by any chance download the version of Opera for phones with a keyboard? there's 2 versions of Opera mini 10 for winmob. 1 for keys with no onscreen and one for touch with onscreen keys.

Basically, I am looking for a QWERTY soft keyboard with larger keys than the built in one in Portrait mode.
I apologise if there really is a well known solution to my aggravation. It must have trekked over the horizon, cos I spent atleast 6 hours last night trying to find it.
So, I find the most convenient way to type is with thumb or fingers, and I can do this on the built-in keyboard, with a moderate accuracy. It's still more convenient than getting out the stylus.
I have demod perhaps 15 different SIP Keyboards now and NONE of them have a larger keyboard in Portrait mode than the built-in keyboard.... WHY? They either have large keys and a stupid gimmick or small keys and a standard QWERTY. Could the calligrapher keyboard be any smaller?
Here is my ideal SIP Keyboard: a qwerty keyboard with just the letters (and . , ?) on screen, but taking upto half of the screen. The numbers can be hidden under a shift or alt key.
Does this exist? All the large key keyboards I have found take up the whole screen, which I find very irritating in itself.
We've all the seen the iphone and its keyboard right? Is there not a single program with good size keys for ppc? I found one that is ABCD etc. not qwerty and the guy wanted to charge over 100 dollars on handango.
Please Please Please. Help me and suggest a solution. Thank you.
PS. I have found ideal software for the Palm OS, is there a version for PPC? Look here:
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...e=english&platformId=1&N=96804 95766&R=165068
I just found a good one for all those interested.
Its called Happy Tapping Keyboard. It resides on some obscure korean site i think. Do a google search and use the translate option. It works enough to understand.
So far it is hands down the best keyboard available. Its larger than the built in one and even larger in landscape, but most importantly it only takes up a little bit of the screen, so you can still see stuff.
I highly recommend. And it is free and skinnable. You can also add a WAV sound to the tap, an audio aide so you know when you have hit it. That is if you dont want to enable all screen tap sounds in WM5.
some details
Thanks for this HTK program,
this is the link for download :
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/KOTETU/00000103
once it is downloaded, you need to move the cab file directly to your device (don't run it from your computer).
and this is the one for some skins :
http://blogs.shintak.info/articles/979.aspx
put them in the picture folder or a folder that you will easily find on your device.
choose the right VGA/QVGA mode
to change the skin :
go to setting then choose the keyboard icon and find the skin you put in your folder.
et voila !
rq : would be nice if the button could be bigger !
and it is obsure japanese not korean,
cheers
I can't seem to find "\" char... anyone enlighten me pls
Why do you want to translate a Korean site when you can just get it next door.. yes, next door here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296455&highlight=
Hi All,
In my old XDA the keyboard had a CTRL key which was so easy to cut and paste but the HD2 keyboard is very cumbersome when copying and pasting.
Anyone has suggestion for an alternative keyboard app?
Cheers.

Just press and hold your finger on the text and you will get a pulldownmenu with the commands "copy" and "paste". This is the only way, i know.
Thanx mate..... but I know this function but sometimes it's so hard to highlight the text and then try and copy/cut as soon as I put my finger again on the same place the highlighted text get cleared as the system kind of recognises as I dont want the selection ......sometimes it does work I have to admit but most of the time it doesnt and i just like using teh CTRL function as its kind of neat (thats my understanding) ..... anyone has any alternatives????

You can use FingerKeyboard for this. You can select text by pressing the 'shift' key and then select the text with the arrow buttons. When you have the right selection, you can copy this by pressing 'shift' and then X. To paste press 'shift' and then V. Even shift-Z and shift-X works, exactly the way it does on a normal keyboard. I use it very much.

ok, and how can i then replace the selected text with a capital "V" (when shift-v is the shortcut for paste, which is ctrl-v on a pc) ?

I'm sorry, I was wrong. You have to press shift and hold (!) the Z, X, C or V button. When you press shift you also see the caption of buttons change. Above the Z you can see 'undo', above the X 'cut' and so on...
Swype has a dedicated copy and one for paste in the symbols/edit section
Thanx for the feedback ....i'm going to try these but i just wish i could have that ctrl button.........hehehe
try swype is much better than the default kb
These are basics features of TouchPal :
Copy, paste, text selection, selec all, home, end, page up & down, etc...

Try VNKeyb v2.2.0 of hanoiwap here:
This one works perfectly. Thanks.
It's not perfect but it would be if it could keep up completely.
HTC_IME Mod keyboard is very cool and is easily the best t9 keyboard out there.
Also the only keyboard I can decently use one handed and I have been able to use it nicely without looking for the most part.
Current version is 27 and you can get it here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
(sorry can't post links yet... )
I've tried:
Handcent T9 Free
numberpad aka (evenbetter)numberpad $3.99
and a couple other miscellaneous ones paid and free
also tried Swype beta
Some issues I have with it:
There is no next button to choose the next word in order
I haven't figured out how to change the word order yet ie when typing of I get me by default and I personally prefer of.
it could be faster... I force my self to wait for the short vibrate feedback before i press the next letter. Still very quick though, and if you use one hand it is faster because you don't try to hit two buttons at once.
Some settings I have set mine for:
Swipe left deletes last word
Swipe right switches keyboard between t9 and qwerty (you could use compact keyboard as well but I'm not into that sissy stuff)
swipe down hides keyboard
swipe up moves the cursor back a word
Volume up/down moves cursor forward/backward
Many other options as well!
I seem to have no copy and paste. Running TnT Lite V 2.2. everything is great but the lack of C&P is very irritating. have tried it in dolphin and stock browser.

Long press for select text/copy/paste options
With the default keyboard you can use the long press and get select, copy, paste text options. You should try Ultra Keyboard from the Marketplace, there's a trial version. In the settings, remove full screen in landscape checkmark and play with the height of the keys to your liking. There's a top section above the keyboard, with some select text and copy paste icons like in word. There's also cursor keys on both portrait and landscape mode keyboards, nice for fine editing/correcting. Typing is much nicer with this, at least for me. Oh, and if you like Swype, they have a trace option as well.

I tried ultra and can see it in keyboard option but can't activate it. When I then longpressa text box it doesn't have ultra listed, confirming that it did not activate. What's the trick,do you have to adb push like instaalling swipe?

You have to move keyboards to the system apps folder to use them.
After the Ultra -trial version install, I could not find the keyboard to move to system apps folder. Where can I find the keyboard either apk or anything?

I'm on TNT Lite 2.2 and in the settings I'm able to select/deselect the keyboard. Which version are you running?
I installed the trial version of Ultra keyboard and you need to go to language and keyboards in settings to tell your tablet to use it. Then when you go to a text box and long press you should be able to select it. Now, if I could just find the magic button to make the keyboard full width I would be happy...
I would like to be able to save a custom keyboard command, for example, CTRL + /, so that, for example, if I'm using Figma on my touch device (within the browser), I can hit this button and that keyboard shortcut will be "executed". In this instance, for Figma, it would toggle all of the UI and leave just the canvas.
Does such an app/widget exist?

The Figma app should support it, right?
Im not sure about anything else that can trigger UI elements.
Unfortunately I don't have access to the Figma app (it's in closed beta), I'm just trying to use it in the browser

Keyboard shortcuts for Figma
A visual cheat-sheet for the 119 keyboard shortcuts found in Figma

It has that.
If you have a physical keyboard it mught work.
Thanks Kenora, I'm trying to avoid having to connect physical keyboard .
I'm looking to use Figma in the browser on my Galaxy Tab. I can trigger the Toggle UI shortcut by pressing and holding on the background, but am hoping for a quicker way to trigger that function
