Hi.
As keyboard I am using "Hackers Keyboard". 4 Row only.
I'd like to use HK as a full screen keyboard in Landscape mode, meaning in Landscape there should be only the keyboard (big) and a textbox where I am writing currently. I Portrait it should be "normal" keyboard and everything else visible (textbox, background, other text, etc).
How can I achieve that the keyboard is "big with textbox" in Landscape?
Currently it does the same as in Portrait, big keyboard and a little gap between keyboard an the upper screen. On some apps, this is not enough to display a textbox. On others it is enough.

For certain apps, I want to be able to use the hardware keyboard but keep the screen in portrait mode. Gyrator helps a bit, but does not do everything I want:
Example 1: Kevtris. Only works in portrait, but needs enough mappable hardware buttons to control the pieces, so keyboard needs to be out, but device is held in portait.
For this, Gyrator helps because it turns the screen back to portrait if the device is in portrait (even if the keyboard is still out)
Example 2: Morphgear. Works best in portrait mode with the game display set to be sideways (East). So keyboard is out, device is held in landscape but I want the screen to stay portrait.
Any thoughts?
I'm not sure if changescreen would work, but you can set what programs turn what way, and could add an exception to those specific programs to display only in portrait mode. It's called changeScreen - v2.5 (Mar 13 '09). HTH

Inspired by the post asking about different wallpapers depending on screen orientation...
Is there any way we can set up separate keyboards depending on screen orientation? For instance, swype withs great with portrait, but in landscape mode it's pretty useless.
Any thoughts?
Great request...
I would use Swype for portrait mode and HTC_IME for Landscape...
Hi,
I've got this phone due a week and I'm really scared why they let to distribution something that has problems with typing on keyboard - a really big lag
I am using now the standard keyboard with qwerty OFF on portrait mode and I don't want qwerty on this mode - the phone is too small for really fast typing.
I've turned off XT9 also, I just want physical keyboard replacement without any CPU-using helps, that are for me just rubbish, only touch vibrations would be appreciated.
It should be no higher than half of the screen also.
I've used SWYPE, SwiftX and SlideIT, they're only QWERTY which I don't want on portrait mode, I can't turn off hints, which only uses CPU and gives free space away.
Is something there what I'm searching for? Can be paid.
EDIT:
Yes, I've read this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210730&highlight=keyboard&page=2
no help.
I use smart keyboard pro with t9 on portrait and azerty on landscape.
Works flawlessly, you can download dictionaries from market and apply 'themes'.
thx, installed trial now, it's fast, simplified keyboard works well, finally I can turn off full screen keyboard on landscape mode, but... is there any way to turn off hints? I really don't need them, better would be without them - more cpu for typing makes less lag.
I borked something... For some reason when my keyboard (any keyboard that uses full screen) goes full screen the font color is changing to white. If it wasn't for the white background this would not be an issue. This happens in landscape, but portrait doesn't go full screen so it works fine.
Does anyone have any idea on how to change the font color in full screen only?
As a work-a-round I have installed a keyboard manager that changes the keyboard based on orientation. I am using SlideIt in landscape and FlexT9 in portrait. Occasionally I use hackers keyboard, but having same issue there. I have a habit of switching keyboards depending on my needs at that time.

Click to collapse
What do you mean, ''keyboard that uses full screen''? Can you give an example of which keyboard app, which editor app (does it happen when you post on this forum, for example?), and what do you do to make it ''go full screen''?
(By the way, I am using Hackers' Keyboard. All the keys are there, and you can move the cursor with onscreen keys.)
In landscape using hackers keyboard or flext9, when the keyboard expands the entry field goes from web page/ app/ entry field to the fill screen mode where the keyboard takes up half the screen and the other half is a separate input screen, not the web page view.

Is there anyway to reduce the landscape keyboard textbox size. It dont like the fact it takes up the full screen. It would be nice to still be able to read the message above it etc.
You can use a custom keyboard, popular ones from the market have a DPI setting in the keyboard setting, however for me the result was terrible removed it in minutes after that.
