Hello!
i use two languages when typing and since we have a hardware keyboard i would like to ask if there is a hardware key to change between those two languages that i use...i am on CM 6.1.1 currently!
Maybe i didnt phrase it correctly..
I meant,is there a way to switch between languages from the hardware keyboard?
Because having to close the hinge, rottate the phone to on screen keyboard and then switch, to go up and pull out the keyboard again..

Perhaps look into using one of the quick keys into being a toggle?

Nevermind, found it ... select an unassigned quick key, select continue, select settings, select language and keyboard settings.
It won't act as a toggle (without programming a script and installing it) but it'll let you jump between the two via the HW keyboard

nothing happens with this, it just lets u select which languages u wanna use on the osd keyboard..
Just fyi...in sense roms the language switch is the magnify lense button (long press) that switches betweeen the selected languages...still struggling to find anything similar for CM roms though :/
Hi..I run into question like this before...kind of annoying little issue
One less hassle way to switch is long press(same as what you do when try to select text for copying) the text box then a a tiny window will pop up for input method option. in there you can change your input method so you hardware keyboard can be used for other input method.
And if the second language input happen to be Chinese. Suggest you use sogou input.
You only have to long press the text box once and switch to sogou input...and it has build in english mode so you can just use shift+space to taggle between sougo english/chinese mode.
Hey guys
Thinking of getting a keyboard for my tab. Does anyone have one and r running cm9? Does it work fine? Were talking about the official USB keyboard from Samsung.
Thanks

Which one exactly? Maybe this one: samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ECR-K14AWEGSTA
If that's the case, I have one and it works, except some shortcut keys like brightness up/down, home, app drawer, and recent apps.

Oh yeah, in general, it works fine.
Just for the record, there's something else that doesn't work at the moment with ICS, switching the input language of the keyboard, only english.

This may help, if not, let me know and I can add support for more languages and keyboard layouts.

I'm using ICS and a Logitec Keyboard and Mouse. Everything is working great. No problems. I'm sorry, didn't read the questions right. I'm not using USB Keyboard, I'm using a Bluetooth Keyboard with ICS
i'm using official bluetooth keyboard case from samsung and it does work except:
-can't change language (to russian in my case)
-mute button
-play\prev track\next track
-app drawer button
-options button
-multitasking button
-brightness up\down
-hide keyboard button
-voice search button
Does anyone know a fix for that?
Thanks in advance

Yeh this is a really important concern. The keyboard loses so much value if a good portion of its buttons dont work and it wasnt a cheap keyboard... There must be some app somewhere for rebinding key inputs from bluetooth keyboards...
couldn't find it on the market and forum. If you see any, please, drop a link here

Can you post a photo of the keyboard where all keys are visible? I may be able to help.

How does the "Lang" button work? Do you need to hold it down to access the Russian characters?
no, it is toggled (like caps)
i have the same problem with the same keys, my keyboard is a samsung and white color, with the same order that shows in the images (am still not allowed to post outside links)
does you guys think that one app can solve this?

I'm not sure about the "Lang" key. That's new to me and does not exist the keyboards that I am used to. It may need Samsungs own input method to work.
I might give it a try though. In a worst case scenario I guess it might be possible to use the "Lang" key as "Alt Gr" to access the Russian characters. Not an ideal solution but better than nothing I guess.
Install Keytest.apk from here and note down all the scancodes for the keys in the top and the bottom row.
(Also if any qwertz (German) or azerty (french) users read this I am also looking for the scancode for "#" (German keyboard) and "*" (French keyboard) for Samsung keyboard dock or bluetooth keyboards. Seems Samsung using different codes for the extra key on 102-key layouts than a standard PC keyboard does.)

Try my new app. I just added Russian layout to it for the russian layout I put the complete US layout on ALT and ALT+SHIFT positions. You can also configure one of the function keys to turn remapping on and off but I see now that the samsung keyboard does not have function keys.
Try the demo version and if it works, then using the debugging menu to read the scancode for the "Lang" button and hopefully I can add language switching support also for that key.

hebrew is missing
hey, i just purchased your app and it is missing hebrew language.
Is there any way to add it?
Thanks.
and maybe also add an alt+shift key to switch languages.

Hebrew is added now but you propably know that allready. "Alt+Shift" is not a good option because Alt+Shift+Key is used in some layouts to store 4 different symbols on the same key.
Hello, my desire's "Back" button doesn't work, so I've been using zMooth as a workaround.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my english.

Yep, you can use ruKeyboard or Russian Keyboard which allows to change keyboard layout with Ctrl+space or any other shortcut and bind all extra keys to usefull functions.
