Hello.
Can you would add the left and right navigation key on the keyboard google?
I really like is keyboard, and I think that's the only thing it lacks.
is impossible?
a response is not a luxury
nothing?
This may be your best bet
There is a app in Google play called Hacker's Keyboard. It comes as close to a computer keyboard as possible. Even things such as Control-C and Control-V Work! It has the arrow keys you have requested. Check it out and report back
thank you, but I would just be to the left and right arrows on the keyboard google I found the best key for me.

So I found this out by accident and wanted to share. I don't know whether this was a feature on 2.1 as I've always used HTC_IME but here goes.
On the main keyboard drag your thumb up from the letters to above the preview bar and a whole row of letters and punctuation appears under your thumb. You don't have to hit the ?123 button anymore as a quick swipe up above the keyboard accomplishes the same thing.
This by no means gives me enough reason to move away from the HTC_IME but it's kinda neat.
I heart Froyo.

You can do that on HTC_IME also. I'm in CM 5.0.7 test3 and works perfectly.
How? Where in HTC_IME can you get two additional rows?
HTC IME already lets you long press letters to get additional keys, I consider this far better because I can see them already and just have to press for a short while (customizable length in the HTC IME mod)
Awesome! Didn't know about that. Thanks

Oh nice. Never tried that before so I wouldn't know if it's new to froyo or not.
However, I used to closed the keyboard by swiping down, and I find it extremely difficult to do in FroYo, I don't know what's wrong :-/

I'm not saying HTC_IME is worse. In fact I very much like it. The only feature of stock keyboard I like is the way you change languages if you have selected multiple dictionaries.
That's awesome ! FroYo really made Touch Input usable for me.
Thanks a lot for the tip.
Also did you all notice the tab key when inputting fields. Saves a lot of time.
it's a neat feature, but i don't think it's any faster than long pressing a key. overall i still think google should make HTC_IME standard
Also on smart and better kb
Cool, thanks. I had never noticed that. Kind of like all the cool features there are on Swype that I just found accidentally.
I'm really happy with this latest version of the stock Android keyboard - it has multitouch! I was wondering why typing was suddenly way more accurate. The punctuation input is also a clever idea.

What? Where did you get that keyboard from?
Cool, I didn't know this.
I also like in Froyo (wasn't there before), after you hit the space bar after a word, punctuation shows up where the suggested words would be.
The stock keyboard has had multitouch since 2.1, it's not true multitouch like the iPhone but you can press two keys and it'll pick them both up. It's only when they're close together that it might mess up because it could think you're sliding but that's just the crappy touch screen. I really wish HTC didn't cheap out with the touch screen..
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:

(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!
Is remapping a single key a difficult thing to do, for you smart dudes?
I don't use the voice key at all. Can that key be remapped to a right arrow key? I don't miss or need all of the arrow keys but having a way to move the cursor to the right would really make editting a multi-line message much easier. I can use the backspace to move it left and just retype the letters but moving right would be oh so nice.
(I'm not a complete noob but my programming kung fu is still lacking compared to a lot of you...)
bump bump b.. (for min char requirement)
Taking a shot in the dark but I am guessing you would need to modify the keyboard.apk(?) .. or add a new keyboard with this mod done.

You can always just modify the keyboard 'theme' and replace the key you want with a right arrow. It wouldn't work but it would look the way you want it to.
hello! does anyone know of a way to get a sense-like keyboard in a aosp rom (liquid smooth rom is the one i am using)? Before i made the move to aosp, which i plan on staying with as its much faster and more efficient in my opinion, i had a keyboard similar to this http://imgur.com/TN76u with the arrow keys and such. I tried Perfect Keyboard from android market, which is very nice and works perfectly, EXCEPT it does not work with connect bot/ssh which completely defeats the purpose of having arrow keys for recalling recent commands lol, for some reason the keyboard refuses to enter text normally the second i open up a screen session in debian, although if i quickly switch over to stock android keyboard i can enter text perfectly, but the stock keyboard does not have arrow keys which is my original problem. I am open to any suggestions, so would really appreciate any help that i can get in finding a decent keyboard thanks!
Hi,
try to disable the option "always suggest " in perfect keyboard settings.
Lacrosse, same here. Like the "older" style keyboard with the arrows, just prefer it and the bigger type box.
Anybody??

Give SwiftKey a try. I've had wonderful results with it. Look in the options to enable arrow keys, plus the text correction and suggestions are fantastic. Themes could use a little work, though.
You might be able to get in with their beta program and download it for free to play with for a while without buying and having to drop it 15 minutes later.
Good hunting!
This is what I use on CM7 on my 'bolt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608
You don't get the arrows, but you get the same layout and many more features.
I like google keyboard (sliding mode) very much, but I can not find the way to disable shortcuts on "comma". If you slide over comma in a "wrong" way, you get either XY, Youtube or something else. This drives me crazy and I have to correct my sentences all the time. How to turn this off? Google has no feedback, no support for keyboard, no reply on a google play store... Anyone, please help! Thank you
I hate this too, sometime i just want to make fun by typing wrong word and then keyboard seriously auto-correct it. Try this:
On stock Android, go to Settings.
Next, scroll down a bit until you see the Language & input tab, and tap on it.
Now, tap on Google Keyboard.
Text correction...
And there you go - you can disable auto correction by tapping on that toggle.
