[Q] Foriegn language keyboard input to use with the dock? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded a Korean language pack and keyboard and changed all the settings to enable it, but it will only work if I'm not docked to the Asus keyboard. Is there anyway to enable to the keyboard while being docked and press the keys on the dock to get it to type in Korean? (If it matters, I did the steps in the "multiling keyboard") On a regular laptop, I can change keyboards seamlessly despite the physical keyboard being in English (just memorized where all the Korean letters are).
Just as a note, when I try to use a Korean keyboard when docked it says: "Change to ASUS Keyboard to keep consistency with hardware keyboard". The ASUS keyboard doesn't have a Korean option though.
Anyone have a solution?

Where did you get the Korean language pack?

bump for interest

[Q] Automatic Keyboard Selection?

Is is possible to configure the TF101 automatically change the keyboard upon connecting/disconnecting the dock?
I want to use the physical keyboard when the tablet is docked. When it isn't docked, I want to use Swype, because the Asus onscreen keyboard just isn't anywhere near as good as Swype.
Another problem I have is, for some strange reason, when using the Asus onscreen keyboard, long pressing the text box doesn't bring up the switch keyboard option. I experienced this today using Evernote, and have seen it in other programs.
Is there a shortcut on the Asus onscreen keyboard to change keyboards (not to another Asus keyboard, but to another installed keyboard)?
If not, is there an widget I can put on the desktop that will toggle between two different keyboards?
I'm afraid that automatic switching of keyboard is not possible. As far as I know the permission which is necessary to change keyboard from other process is not possible to get without platform manufacturer signature (Asus in case of stock Transformer)
For the keyboard switch yo can use a small keybard icon in the notification area.
There is an app to switch keyboards based on orientation. I remember it coming from someone on the N1 subforums. Try looking for it and contacting the dev and see if he's willing to adapt it for the TF.
It does require root though.

[Q] Slide it in combination with the dock

Hi,
I'm a big fan of SlideIT so i installed it on my tab as well.
Now, i'm a belgian user so my keyboard is Azerty. In slideit i can pick an Azerty layout; so far so good.
However, when i plug the tab into the dock (which is also azerty btw), the tab complains that the keyboard should be set to the standard layout to assure consistency with the hardware of the keyboard (but i want to keep using slideit)
unortunately, the end result is that the keyboard now reverts to qwerty mode ... (which is very strange if you think about since both the software (slideit) and hardware (dock) are azerty...
i've solved this partially by editing the keyboard layout file and remapping buttons but only for the most important keys and can't be bothered doing it for all of them...
anyone know of a more elegant solution?

[Q] Custom touch keyboard with hardware keyboard dock

Hi, I need to use a Norwegian touch keyboard, and since the ASUS one doesn't have norwegian letters, I will find a new one. However, when a non-ASUS keyboard is activated, the Norwegian letters on the hardware (dock) keyboard stops functioning!
Is this really how it is designed - only one touch keyboard is allowed, because the hardware keyboard won't work otherwise?? Or is there a solution? Maybe a program that changes touch keyboard when the hardware keyboard is plugged/unplugged...

[Q] Keyboard UK

I've done a search, and although the bug with the backspace key on the keyboard dock not working correctly after a JB update I can't find any other posts about the problem I am experiencing.
I have a UK spec 64Gb TF700 bought from Amazon UK that includes the keyboard dock.
I don't like the Asus on screen keyboard and to avoid the annoying backspace bug I prefer to use the Android keyboard. However if I use anything other than the Asus keyboard as default, the '@' key moves to the number '2' key and the number '3' key becomes '#' instead of '£'.
The system and keyboard languages are all set to UK English. I did have Swype installed but have done a complete factory reset to try to cure this annoying problem so now only have the Asus and Android default keyboards showing in Language & Input settings.
The tf700 is stock running JB and not rooted, anyone please put me out of my misery to cure this....?

[How-To] Set Up PC Keyboard Layout With Android Keyboard (AOSP)

How to apply PC layout?

Instead of hijacking the original thread the above question came from, I'll put the instructions in this new one.
The Android keyboard (AOSP) (and the Google Keyboard, I believe) is capable of having a numbers row and being set up to resemble a traditional PC keyboard. For those who are unfamiliar with how to set it up, here's how:
Go to Settings > PERSONAL > Language & Input
Press the settings button to the right of 'Android keyboard (AOSP).'
In 'Android keyboard settings,' scroll all the way down and press 'Advanced settings.'
In 'Advanced settings,' press 'Custom input styles.'
In 'Android keyboard settings,' press the 'ADD STYLE' button on the upper-right corner of the screen.
Choose your Language. Then choose 'PC' for the Layout. Press the 'Add' button when done.
Return to the 'Android keyboard settings' page in step 3. Press 'Input languages.'
In 'Input languages,' deselect 'Use system language' and any other default 'ACTIVE INPUT METHODS.' Select the method that corresponds to the language you previously chose that is followed by '(PC).'
Back out of Settings, and enjoy your PC layout keyboard.
Hope this helps.
Very nice guide, cheers, I was wondering how to get the number keys to show :good:
EDIT - Not a biggy, but it doesn't seem to have changed to UK layout even after following the guide perfectly, the @ symbol is above the 2 and the " symbol is above the right shift key, that is the US keyboard layout, the UK layout is reversed
Like I say, not a big deal, just wondering why it didn't set UK up even though I have it selected

This looks like an oversight/bug by Google:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37166
If you want to try another keyboard with a PC layout, how about Hacker's Keyboard:
http://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard&hl=en
It claims to support 'English/British (en_GB),' and it even includes arrow keys.
I installed the KitKat Google keyboard, but it looked like the PC keyboard has been removed as an option. Can anyone confirm this; or better yet, suggest a workaround?
