ALT-GR for at and hash sign on external BT keyboard - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello from Italy,
Just bought a Microsoft wedge Bluetooth keybord for my note 10.1.
On italian keyboard layout, the @ and the # sign are obtained by pressing ALT-GR+another key (accented ò and accented à rispectively).
Just discovered that there is no way with android to obtain @ and # sign using the above key combination.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I use "external keyboard helper pro" to map my Bluetooth external keyboard! Cheap, effective and not so complicated to use!
Just search it on googleplay!

[Q] Keyboard firmware - Enter button on keyboard

I have been having problems with the enter button on the keyboard lately. Does anyone have locations of keyboard firmwares to try Out?
Maybe there is a simpler solution.
Problems
1. Hitting enter when entering in a web address inserts a space instead of activating the search/URL
2. In youtube Enter normally submits the comment. Now it will go to the next line and there is no way to submit the comment in the You Tube application.
All modifiers have been tried (alt, ctrl, and shift)
Any help would be greatly Appreciated! Thank you so Much!

[Q] Physical keyboard language changer

Hello all, I ve just connected a physical keyboard to my Xoom but I cant type in Greek. I use SwiftKey keyboard as a greek supported virtual keyboard (works flawlessly) and although I am able to write in English, I cant type in Greek with my physical keyboard. If anyone knows a way to do that please tell me how. Thanks in advance
Did you set the physical keyboard to greek in the settings? Each keyboard type needs own settings :/
check setting
Problem is that Xoom doesnt have greek keyboard thats why i use swiftkey keyboard as virtual keyboard. Is there a way to add greek in system/usr/keychars?

I've already used morelocale2 this morning with no luck to change input method, only local settings language.
------
I just found the solution and it was much easier than I thought. The solution is called Go keyboard, one of the most popular keyboard apps on the market. I was using swiftkey, tried smart keyboard, tried slide it but none of these had support for physical( hard) keyboard if you hadn't had Greek input method as an option in settings menu.
Thank you all for the help anyway.

Swiftkey

Is anyone out there using Swiftkey tablet. I use it because of the Dvorak keyboard layout, mainly because the Note doesnt seeem to support keyboard layouts other than Qwerty.
When I type in Swiftkey it seems to be registering multiple keystrokes. This doesnt happen in the stock samsung keyboard or SlideIt
No problems here. Try uninstalling and then re installing

Did you try Polaris Office and S Note.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Still does it in these two apps.
I'm using SwiftKey without any issues. I've used both Polaris and S Note. Did you try a restart? Could be some sort of magnetic issue that might be resolved that way. Big bummer. Sorry.
I have swiftkey on all my devices except the Note10.1.
Does Swiftkey support big, small hovering and split keyboard like original keyboard ?

It supports big and split, but no hovering.
does using a keyboard other than the stock one still allow you to use the S-pen instead of the keyboard whenever you want to? I know that the stock keyboard has the setting button that you press to select text recognition for using the pen within the browser.
Think it's a common issue but I can't get SwiftKey T to learn from my Gmail.
Anyone else having this problem?? Or have a suggestion.??

I'm using SwiftKey 3, but I've been experiencing a lot of freezing+force closing when using it with Chrome.
Hovering would be nice. It offers all else that I need.
Hi all,
I work for SwiftKey. Please be sure to post bug reports (one at a time) on our public forum at support.swiftkey.net. We also welcome suggestions there. Regarding Droidcarp's note that there appears to be some difficulty with personalization, our Dev Team has been made aware of this report and they are looking into it for you.
Again, our public forum is the best place for suggestions and bug reports. This allows us to streamline the development process so we can continue to make SwiftKey as excellent as possible for you.
Thanks very much,

As long as you dropped in, HWR would be good, too. Sammy offers a hover keyboard and HWR, also. Started using their split keyboard - very nice - and offers HWR.

Any idea how to get the handwriting key to be included?
It is a shame the standard samsung keyboard doesnt support dvorak
Definitely needs handwriting support and the arrow keys like the phone keyboard.
For now it's fine to leave the stock keyboard set on handwriting and use the keyboard switcher in the notifications to switch but it would be useful for it to be integrated.
Also maybe a way to adjust the width, in split mode it seems too wide and I have big hands!
I switched to swift key also from swype today and noticed an echo like effect in snote, working fine in the xda app but broken in the snote app.

My stock Samsung keyboard can no longer provide haptic feedback after installing the SwiftKey tablet, does anyone have the same problem.? I think doesn't matter how you change the settings, and it just doesn't vibrate

stop keyboard defaulting to samsung when using bluetooth keyboard

so when i use mt bluetooth keyboard i get a popup saying i need to change to samsung keyboard to use it. if i click ok or press back it will change the keyboard. this is annoying because my samsung keyboard is regional i.e. uk and my bluetooth keyboard is us the same as thumb keyboard (the onscreen i use) so when it changes keyboards some of the symbols are different.
so my question is, can i stop this from happeing?

Wanting to know the same thing - or even if any of the custom ROMs has this "fixed."
The app External keyboard helper pro allows you to set the language, so you can set it the same as your other keyboards and it has some other helpful settings too. Maybe this is what you're looking for?

Not sure, might try it out. I never had these keyboard issues in ICS and was hoping I was just missing a setting. Have you tried out this app for this purpose? Does it work well?

Keyboards we all need them which works best for you and why. Keyboard discussion and

So in the quest for the best keyboard for me. I know this is a very opinion and preference based. I have tried several different keyboards the one I am currently trying out is flesky. I tried swype touch pal x Samsung keyboard Google keyboard and many others.. So far. Flesky,, is taking some getting used to however its functionality is very unique.. The reason I created this thread was because I was surprised I had never heard of this keyboard. So anyways please your experience with the different keyboards and let me know your favorite and why
Thank you

Kii keyboard. So many options. Rarely misses the auto correct when swiping
I think i have stock but I keep it floating so I can move it around depending on what app I use it with.
Primary keyboard is swype and secondary keyboard is samsung keyboard for use with the s pen.
