Also having this issue. But besides that my BT keyboard (mall crap, $30) also doesn't use shift properly:
-on all keyboards caps lock is working, shift isn't, hence I can not use special characters
-with GO keyboard, shift works, but caps doesn't (have to double press shift to make it work.
I don't know why the configuration is so messed up but the KB works fine on my Galaxy S2. I tried replacing the /system/usr... keyboard files with no luck.
Also what yalkowni said is essential, whould love to have copy/paste/select text/cut working and such an app would be well worth it's money.

Hi devs,
Is there any possibility to mix up 2 different Input methods?
I like to use the android default or some similar qwerty-keyboard for "on screen typing", but if i slide out the hardware keyboard i want to use the SE IME.
So i have to change the IME by pressing text input field manually, every time i wish to use the hardware or reverse.
So my simple question is it possible to mix up IMEs or any other chance to get this managed automatically?

It should be logically possible to attach a task of switching the input method when the event of keyboard out/screen rotation takes place.
But then again if someone did it it'll be an app that would charge, because it'll be a lot of work for coding and making a ui for it.
Guess you should stick to your fingers for now!

it is really hard to mix but possible i try and post when it works^^
but its hard
It's been a while since I tried it, but i think i remember there being an app available in market called Keyboard Manager (requiring root access) that allowed this. It needs to run on boot and automatically switches the IME based on keyboard state.
Edit: I was wrong in thinking it read keyboard state, it read rotation sensor state.

yeah this app is very cool and fits my needs.
As predicted it IS a paid app
Tested, works absolutely great!
Even my device is set up to ignore orientation by rotation sensor, "keyboard manager" seems to recognise the keyboard slide out and changes the IME automatically.
Now I use swiftkey x beta for onscreen and SE IME for keyboard typing...
Thanks a lot!

Is there a way to remove the on-screen keyboard(OSC) from popping up every time i dock my SGT? It's pretty annoying and surprising that samsung didn't notice this. I don't need an OSC popping up when i already have a keyboard present. besides, i could always call it up if i need it.
Thanks!
When you beginning typing, you will see a little keyboard icon in the notification steam. Touch it and change to the Samsung keyboard. That should do away with it. There are also two keyboard keys on the dock keyboard. One is 2-3 keys to the left of the spacebar and the other is above the shift key.
They seem to give you setting options and on demand pop up a touch keyboard

I've already tried changing to the samsung keyboard but it still keeps appearing. I know how to make it disappear by pressing on the key beside ctrl, but is there a way not to make the on screen keyboard appear at all when docked?
I have not found a repeatable amd tracable method. Sometimes changing soft keyboard to Samsung or English works go not make it appear. Sometimes it works other times it doesnt.
I am not really committing lot to figuring it out until after the TouchWiz update. But i have yet to excessively use the keyboard to be honest. So i may have more patience. It would be nice to be able to define a dock keyboard behavior and a handheld behavior. It is also annoying to switch back to thumb or swift keyboards.

So I recently bought the keyboard for my prime. I love it, but you have to set the IME to the stock android or the asus keyboard for it to work well. Neither of those have a split keyboard so when I take the keyboard dock off and just use the tablet I have to go manually switch IME keyboards to a split keyboard (thumb keyboard).
It would be awesome if someone could make an app for the TP that would set the keyboard depending on if it were docked or not would be awesome.

I too use Thumb Keyboard but it doesn't seem to affect it when I dock my prime. The icon in the tray with the 2 lines, down arrow and wide U shows up when I dock and the keyboard functions normally. When I undock, my last used IME is there (in this case, Thumb Keyboard). I just assumed it auto-switched the IME when you docked it.
What you are looking for exists already App called keyboard manager. Must have app for this thing if you have the dock.

Agreed. It just works.
Cool, thanks, that was what I searched for.
FYI all SwiftKey X tablet version works great with the dock hardware keyboard.
I think every on-screen keyboard will work with the dock as long as you are using a stalwart englisg QWERTY layout. The problems begin when you are using a qwertz layout with spezial letters like ä, ü, ö and ß and a non standart on-screen keyboard like thumb keyboard or swift keyand connect your dock.
the problem with most non-asus keyboards is not the 'normal' keys. Most will work using the dock. The problem starts when you want to use other keys like shift, alt en capslock. That's why some sort of automatic switching needs to be done when the dock is connected or disconnected. I've found an app for the original transformer that does exactly this but it doesn't seem to work so well for the transformer prime.
I'd like to use a USB keyboard for terminal-type stuff or long emails. Unfortunately, the darn on-screen keyboard pops up taking half the screen.
Does anyone know of a keyboard I can install that doesn't show a keyboard on-screen?
If you're using swiftkey x can you swipe down to hide the Keyboards?

Search Null Keyboard in the market. It stops the pop-up.

Hello!
I've installed CM 9.0.0 on my Mini Pro and I have a problem with the physical keyboard. When it is open, there are no word suggestions (even if i activate them in the settings) and there is no blue key lock icon in the statusbar. How can I install the stock keyboard on this rom? Previously used the Real ICS r2 rom and the keyboard was working correctly with word suggestions and icon on statusbar.
Thanks in advance!

As long as I remember, the suggestions doesn't appear when you are using the physical keyboard (well I'm not really sure about this). Anyway, you could use other keyboard like swiftkey, I'm using it already and suggestions appear even with physical keyboard.
Also, currently there is no way to get the key lock icon, though the key it's working normally. The same for the shift key and sym key.
All these features are present with the stock keyboard only. As far as I know there is no ported stock keyboard which is working with CM9.
