The perfect setup would be if I could use the default SE keyboard in portrait mode and AnySoft keyboard or similar when the phone is in landscape mode. Is there a way to set this up?
My old nokia 5800 automatically did a switch between full keyboard and numeric keyboard when I rotated my phone
Smart KB hat the ability in options.

As wm6.5 via titanium offers a great UI even for landscape, and as the qwerty/z keys are really small in portrait mode i'm looking for an application that would switch screen orientation to landscape on sliding the keyboard in and to portrait when sliding out (in fact it actually changes to portrait, when i'm sliding the keyboard out, thats why i need something that changes sr to landscape when i slide back in)...
Anyone knows some app?
Maybe you could mix up the screen rotate tool from here:

... with the advanced tab of the SLIDE ACTION app:

works perfectly!
Just a question:
Is there a (free) keyboard with the following attributes:
Force fullscreen keyboard in Landscape (only big keyboard and textbox where currently typing in Landscape)
Normal keyboard in Portrait (see everything android shows and Keyboard)
low memory footprint
no correction
easy to use
good looking (like gingerbread keyboard)
Just a dumb keyboard with force fullscreen in Landscape.
Thanks in Advance
PS: Hackers Keyboard has no force fullscreen
Hello!
Does Xperia Z2 has portrait keyboard inbuilt? (alphanumeric keypad)?
Don't think so, there's a mini querty keyboard in portrait mode and I couldn't find an option to change to alphanumeric.
Although with the screen size even being new to portrait qwerty shouldn't be a problem, key spacing's pretty nice.
i just bought a new generic bluetooth keyboard for use with my Note3 and my tablet.
when I do normal thumb typing, swiftkey is being used.
the annoying part is that when i connect my BT keyboard, it insists on using Samsung keyboard as default. After disconnecting it, the default does not switch back to Swiftkey and i have to manually set it back.
2 questions :
1. is this the normal behavior?
2. any workaround to this issue? - best scenario would be the onscreen keyboard is automatically hidden and Swiftkey remains as my default keyboard, so there is no need to switch after i leave my BT keyboard on the desk.
thanks.
How come when in landscape mode and you bring up the keyboard it is only on the left side of the screen and makes typing with it nearly impossible? Is there a setting for this I am missing somewhere? I don't see anything in the keyboard settings.
