Is there another way to force the soft keyboard other than a long press on the menu button? There is one particular application I want to use, but the long press isn't bringing anything up in this particular application. Could I set my search key to always bring up the soft keyboard? Thanks!

Alright, I HATE Swype, and basically all keyboards under WinMo except for the default full QWERTY. I hit the stupid keyboard open/close button ALL THE TIME when trying to hit the space bar, and I am tired of it. Is there any way to completely remove or otherwise disable this button? Thanks to anyone who can help.
I too am very frustrated when I just want to hide the keyboard and instead a popup appears to choose form other keyboard types :-/
Is it possible to only use the QWERTY keyboard without any other to choose from?
Or Just assign only show/hide keyboard function to that button...
I got used to touch the button on the left side, but anyway I would love to disable this feature as well.
I have the sgs2 for a few months, Im very satisfied with this phone, But there is a thing I cannot live with, THE HOME BUTTON, I dont know why? but a I dont like it at all, Ive been proving some apps to avoid it, someones like button savior, swipepad and wave launcher (This one is absolutely great).
I just wanna know: is there a way to remap LONG PRESS "BACK KEY" to go to home?, just like long press menu does to go to search!. I proved BUTTONREMAPPING but it doesnt have the "long press" options. I was searching and now I know that files on /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars setup the keys on the phone, indeed /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl shows the default capacitive buttons setup, but I dont have enough knowledge to change "LONG PRESS" options on this keys.
so:
Some of you guys know about it?
It is possible or not setup LONG PRESS BACK OR MENU KEY on SGS2?
I would also love to know how to remap those buttons. Also double-click home. I am running the simple clean room (based on stock rom)

I have the zaggfolio case and keyboard. I was wondering is there anyway to edit the functions of the keyboard. For example: change the ctrl key to a shortcut for my browser or if i long press the home but recents will show. thanks
Bumping you because I want to do the same thing for the opposite reason: My keyboard Esc key is interpreted as a local 'Back' press, and Ctrl goes I don't know where. I want it to stop modifying these keys and send them through ConnectBot instead.
Hello .. my device has hard buttons (menu, home, back, and search).
Is there any software that will allow me to configure the phone to launch an application of my choice when I hold down the "menu" button?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: I have found that this is possible through Apex Launcher - but I am looking for a non-launcher-specific solution, something that would be compatible with TwLauncher.
Trying to remap the long press on the menu button on my S5 by editing the .kl files.
Managed to get single press to open menu, but long press refuses to do anything other than open first the google search, then samsung's search apps.
EDIT: Partially solved, nova launcher was set to open search, now it only opens the samsung one. Still doesnt open recent apps.
Xposed framework button remapper manages to do it, so I know it's possible, but there's no hapatic feedback
All suggestions welcome!
