If someone could please add this to the wiki that would be great...
I found out that if you are using Swipe, you can drag from the Swipe logo to the Sym logo and it gives you a feature full text selector. Not exactly a hidden feature, but still hard to find.
the same applies if you are using the Samsung Keyboard and long press on the ?123 key
Sweet, thanks for the tip.

hello,
im not sure if anyone found this to be a problem, but i would love to have a keyboard with a send button in landscape mode without having to hide keyboard
i have found that if you flip the phone back to it's normal position, the keyboard goes back to its normal self with a send button. i've been doing that lately instead of hiding the keyboard.
yeah i was just wondering if there was something that didnt involve the hide/turning phone. just type and send.
+1 I would like to know about this too. Maybe someone can do a IME mod

the htc ime mod can do this in the stock messaging app, theres an option to use the enter key as send. OR you can disable the fullscreen l;landscape all together so that you still see the text field with the send button next to it.
I find it easiest to simply hit the hard back button which hides the keyboard. Unfortunately I do like using paragraphs in my posts too much to want my return key changed to a send key.

AFAIK the htc ime mod only assigns the return key to send while using the stock messaging app. It should not affect your need for using paragraphs while using any other app.
Yes, this would be a good mod. If you could fit a "Send" key somewhere on the keyboard
Anyone know what happen to cut and paste in the browser, HTC Aria has awesome cut and paste and search features that appear on a long press on any text.
Menu more then select text.

I know about that, I was wondering if there was a pop up on that lets you select using those little arrows or highlight to the touch thingy.
Anybody know how to paste text into the stock browser address bar?
Click it once to select and press and hold to paste.

I can't believe how I didn't see that. I was tapping and holding which brought up the share url dialog. I don't know why tap, release, tap hold seems totally unintuitive for me. Especially considering wouldn't it be so much easier for users that a single tap would bring up a menu of all the options, share url, paste, etc?
did somebody know of a virtual/touch keyboard that have the arrow keys in the basic layout for the captivate?? like a hardware keyboard?? in the original and first screen not in some hide menu??? i think the evo4 have it, could it be port to captivate??
Its not hidden away in the menus. just press and hold the 123 key and they pop right up. There are a lot of features in the captivate that work this way.

awesome! i was starting to get annoyed at my fat fingers for not being able to go to my misspelled words! arrows make it much easier
thanks!
migsims, thanks for the tip, but thats what i call a hiden menu (maybe im incorrect) what i want is a keyboard that has the arrows in the basic layout, in the first page
Is there an equivalent way to bring up these arrow keys using the swype keyboard?

Freakin' sweet! I've been wanting this for a long time. I really love Swype for it's layout and special character positions, but never use the sliding feature.
Still looking for an APK that will enable the mic on 2.1. I bricked going to 2.2 and I'm hesitant to move to 2.2 until Clockwork is fully functional...
That seems to only be for the samsung default keyboard (I'll assume swype too) because when I press and hold the ?123 key, I get a popup menu for the Android keyboard (keyboard settings and input method). Or is as usual that I'm missing something?
Any insight?

Does anybody have an idea how to get the arrow keys on the android keyboard? The holding of the ...123 key doesn't seem to work for this keyboard?
Thanks.
You don't need it on FroYo. There's a blue teardrop shaped handle to scrub text. It pops up once you tap in the text field.

...and if one isn't on Froyo yet? I can't imagine the arrows aren't there in eclair.
Thoughts?

arrows are in eclair, blue teardrop thingy isnt.
in swype slide from the "swype" key (the one with the blue s on it in the lowwer left) to the "sym" key directly to the right of it.
in samsung keyboard... hell i dont rememer it's not there in froyo. someone else can answer that.
in stock android you dont have arrows. sorry but that keyboard is useless anyway, no multi touch means typing is slowwwwww.
now i wonder if the droid x keyboard has arrows it's fully touch screen.. i have used it and find it less natural to type on, just not my preference, it's a good keyboard, a bit better than the samsung one in functioality but my fingers just miss the key, go figure....
Other reasons for wanting arrows would be for ssh and terminals

is there a way to make a fast language change on stock ICS?
it seems the only way is to long press space key and select other language.
yeah, miss the swipe on space bar from GB too. Only other option I found is accessing language switcher from the notification area. So I guess long pressing is now the quickest solution :-/
