[Q] How can i do this on Android Keyboards? :) - General Questions and Answers

this sound like a noob question, but i still can't figure out. so i'll ask it anyway.
and hope you understand my question. hard to explain it so i made a screenshot.
in t-mobile g1, i can do this by just pressing ALT+Enter on physical keyboard same thing when im commenting on facebook, it's equivalent to Shift+Enter in computer keyboard when you commenting on FB.

Are you asking about a "line break?"
Same as you would on a keyboard (Shift+Enter)
The Arrow on the left, is your "Shift" button
Press it (don't hold as you would a keyboard) (arrow will go from just an outline, to a solid white arrow), then press then enter button.
I don't even have the "Return" button until I press the Arrow button. When keyboard first opens, it shows the Smiley Face key.

Hmm Maybe
Hello, try hold pressing on [?123]
I read on any pages, that the new Android Keyboard app would have all Arrows.(Up Down Left Right)
But I donĀ“t know where I read this.

whats that?
please elaborate

Well if you are running the Stock 4.2 keyboard on the Nexus 4, then I suggest you "try" harder. Because Pressing the Arrow(Caps/Shift) like I instructed will change the Smile Key to a Return Key.
Edit: You posted a Screenshotn in the Original Post of a Keyboard that is not Nexus 4 keyboard or Even from a screenshot from Nexus 4 (Android 4.2).

Cannot remap 3 hardware buttons: Voice Cmd, OK and Camera

greetings all... i wanted to remap my Voice Command button to another activity, however, the Voice Cmd, OK and Camera buttons do not appear in the list of button options:

i know it was there before because i mapped it to DeviceLock. i've already tried 2 soft resets with no success. i'm hopeful that i can fix this with a simple registry change vs. a hard-reset. if this can fixed via registry edit, i would be grateful if someone could (a) export the the correct registry keys and send them to me via PM (or post here) OR (b) post where to find the keys in the registry and list the default settings... thanks in advance for feedback.
I bet it has something to do with some software you installed. I have kaiser and remapped voice dial button to comm manager and it works without any problem.
not in this case... i installed smartSS to take the picture you see in my post. thanks for the suggestion, though.
Interesting, my config screen shows butons 1-6 plus a second number 6 button (hold), total of 7 mappable keys. Have you never had all these keys shown in this config screen? or did something you add take them away? I would perform a Hard Reset and see if the stock rom brings them back. Good Luck!

sorry for that, I already changed my post, I just thought (although not knowing what smartSS is) that it is the software that reserves the use of button mappings and therefore disables them in the windows settings menu.

the buttons just didn't show up when i went to change them. i'm going to hold out for a possible non-hard reset option. for now, i'll use AE Button Plus. thanks for responding...

[Q] Swype + Cursor Handle = No "W"?

I've got a problem that I don't seem to see any others having... although they should.

"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"
}
Every time I open the keyboard to type I'm greeted with the cursor handle halfway over the "w" key. If I try to start a word with a "w" it will think I want to move the handle and the swype won't take, so either I have to wait ~5 sec for it to disappear or hit another letter and backspace and then start. If you are good you can get the bottom of the "w" key but more often than not you get the handle.
It's in the most unfortunate place, too - as most phrases I text start with "w".
Where you at?
Who is coming?
When will you be here?
What do you want to do?
Why are you still here?
...etc
The stock keyboard is fine since there is the space above - why not Swype too?
So the question is - first, more theoretical, why would Android default to have the handle there when there is no text entered? (e.g. starting a text or web search)
Secondly, is there any way to get rid of the handle altogether? I've gotten accustomed to Android not having it so I'm good if it's not there but also with Swype there is little reason to go back and edit individual letters.
Maybe someone who works for Swype will see this and add the new (and much improved) word selection bar above the keyboard all the time like stock gingerbread...
Try Swype 3.0 (in beta)?

Then I'm afraid I have no idea how to fix your problem. I don't ever get the cursor handle when initially opening an input window. Mine only shows up after I touch it a second time.
I have that same problem with the cursor over the W...very annoying. I've defaulted to skipping the 'W' when I type the first word...

[Application] GoHome for CM9

Hi guys,
I want to share my application called GoHome which should help to use Galaxy Note on the go.
I've wrote and shared this application not for the money. It helps me to hold Galaxy Note with one hand and use it with comfort.
This application duplicates menu, home, back navigation buttons.
If you on the go it's better to swipe on the top than try to press Home button by thumb.
This is a beta version (design is not ready for preferences).
It has been verified on CM9 (some functionality will not work for GB (back, menu), I'm working on it)
I'll upload it into market soon.
Application itself is completely invisible. Preferences show four color areas where you should pull.
Preferences screen and howto:

What does it do? The pictures aren't loading....
Sorry for picture. I've fixed url.
It duplicates home, back, menu buttons. But all this is on the top of screen. It helps you to avoid pressing to physical home button which is hard to press on the go (with one hand)
for gb its okay but for ics?? navigation bar has the same options??

Yep, it was written for ics. Unfortunately my Galaxy Note is a single recorder what I have. I'll shoot video asap.

Dude you forgot one thing.
ICS doesn't need the Home button to be held down. Just hit the "Tasks" button, voila!
Its faster than yours.
Anyways thanks for this, it should be useful.
Especially for those that swap out the "Tasks" button for the Menu button.
But now on most custom roms (eg AOKP) you can customize the Nav-buttons and give them gestures: eg swipe up on Menu button to launch "Tasks" list.

[Q] menu button no Entry into settings

Hey, before the ota rolled out I used the phone for 2 minutes, and at that time w when I pushed the left/menu button the launcher settings popped up. But there was also the settings button. So I could enter settings (like WiFi. Users....) But after that update the button disappeared and changed with the designs button.
Is there any way to get the settings button back there?
Because the upper right corner is so far away for my thumb
Another question: can I get the "," on the keyboard instead of voice??
Thanks in advance !

Go into settings->buttons and there's options to set what the menu button will do. You can set the short press to menu and then long press to recent apps which was the default before the OTA.

I see what you mean. It's the same for me. Looks like they got rid of the settings options from that menu. I switched to nova launcher and didn't notice the changes to the stock one after the update. I can only suggest that you download a new launcher.

Question Samsung Keyboard vs Gboard

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.
