Landscape keyboard - Samsung Galaxy Fold Questions & Answers

Hi - I have tried to search for this - seems like a basic question so apologies if it's been asked before
Can you use the Fold in a clamshell/notebook position?
ie phone open with half the screen on a table as a keyboard and the other half angled - like a mini laptop?
thanks in advance

Direct Keyboard Key

Is there any way to make the on-screen keyboard enter the key I click first, as opposed to what key I am over when I take the stylus off the screen.
For example, if I use the Full QWERTY keyboard and press the E button, but drag my stylus over the R key and take my stylus off it enters R, not E. When I'm typing a message fast this can be a problem with keys at the side of the keyboard as I regularly enter S instead of A and B,N or M instead of a space. Does anyone know of a registry edit or some other way of stopping this from happening? Many thanks in advance!
Sorry, have entered this in the wrong forum! Meant to put it in the generic BlackStone one!
Dude,
That's a feature!
Most people prefer to be able to drag to another key, knowing they pressed the wrong one in the first place. It's kinda natural as our thumbs are bigger than most keyboard keys.
You haven't mentioned which keyboard you're using ? (As you're new... It's also known as a 'SIP'. Try seeking your answer using the search facility in this forum. You may have more luck outside the Blackstone forums)
If you want to just 'point n' shoot' without the drag option, then you could try reverting back to the plain-ole Windows supplied Keyboard (though I haven't tested this).
Seems like a step backwards though...
Cheers
Yup, choose "keyboard" that's the Windows standard keyboard (almost feature-free).
Firstly, cheers for your replies! I will have a look to see if I can disable the feature on the keyboard as I much prefer the Blackstone's Full QWERTY keyboard as it means I can use my thumbs when on the go, and the stylus when at a desk. The plain windows one isn't really what I'm after. Many thanks people!

[Q] Dual touch pads for browser navigation?

apologies if this has already been asked. I remember earlier android handsets that had little track balls just beneath the screen with which you could move a little mouse cursor when surfing the internet to give you better control over highlighting etc. they've since gone our of vogue but it was a feature that came in handy from time to time. with that in mind. I'm surprised that the xperia play doesn't have an option to use the dual touch pads for browsing when in landscape: we know from Sony that the entire middle area is touch sensitive so theoretically it could be used similar to a mouse touch pad on a laptop, or the left pad could move a cursor and the right could scroll around the web page, or ideally you could toggle between both. given the pre existing trackball/cursor code in android would it be feasible to use them in this way?
I wanted this for so long but seems like no one cares a fuc*. Also one option to be added, pinch to zoom for zooming.
I always thought the little 'cleavage' area between the man nipples was a mini touchpad. That would be perfect for up and down scrolling

[Q] Smart Keyboard - programmable buttons

Hello everybody, I'm very new in Android but I wonder is there any keyboard with programmable buttons. Quite often I need to type the current date, time and such.
At the moment I'm using Smart Keyboard and really like it. It will be best if there is a way to add this button somehow...

[Q] How to hide keyboard on note 2

Hey guys, how do I hide the keyboard on the note 2?
Sometimes in landscape it takes up so much space I can't even see the damn junk I'm typing.
I thought it might be thr little V shaped arrow but that just shows more word suggestions.
This is probably a daft question but I'm stumped, and didn't get any love from google either!
Thx gurus

[Q] S-Pen mode - is there a way to disable "back" button

Hello everybody
I am new to this forum and also new to Galaxyy Note 2. I bought this Note 2 for serious use of the S-Pen apps
and to take up note-taking seriously with handwriting mode.
The problem I am having is that When I rest my palm to write, the palm touches the "back" button accidentally -
and this happens several times - and I have to again get back to my notes by opening it again. I can't position my
palm in such a way that it does not touch the "back" button. If I moved my palm then it touches the "menu" button
and that pops up.
I write the notes with the device in the upright - i.e. vertical screen mode. If I made it horizontal it is fine but
since I see only a few lines I don't wish to keep it horizontal. That rules out one possibility.
The note 2 screen does not roll upside down as is the case with iPad3 ( in which the screen rolls upside down also).
If it rolled upside down, my problem would not be there as the palm would not touch anything.
How do I resolve my problem. Once again I re-iterate that I bought this Note 2 for serious usage in note-taking.
Please help. Thanks in advance
