Tab key in alternate browsers? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Does anyone with the keyboard dock notice that the tab key doesn't work in alternate browsers? I've tried Opera, Firefox, and Dolphin, and tab doesn't move between form fields like it does in the stock browser. The Enter key doesn't always submit forms the way it's supposed to either. Only in the Stock Browser does everything work.
I thought it might be Thumb Keyboard, but it's happening even when I switch back to the default Asus keyboard.
Anyone see this or know how to fix it?

same here
would love a workaround or fix!

It works fine for me when I use the stock Asus keyboard. I use Chrome browser.

I think he means the tab key on the keyboard dock. Not the asus virtual keyboard. I had the same problem, but I usually end up using the stock browser anyway because I miss having the dock browser key working.

Yep. I'm saying when I use the keyboard dock with the Asus keyboard selected I can tab from field to field. I normally use Chrome browser or ICS broswer+ but here is a video of me doing it on Dolphin HD. Shift + tab to back up a space wasn't working but I didn't test it out on any other browsers.

I can't get mine to work under VEGAn-Tab... what ROM are you running?
I have tried to get the gingerbread and swiftkey keyboards to work, but for whatever reason am not able to turn off the TnT keyboard.

Are you switching on the swiftkey (or alternative) keyboard under settings --> Language & keyboard? Then, when you get ready to type in any field (you'll still see the default keyboard), do a long press with your finger until you see a pop up that says Input method. Select input method and then you get another pop up that allows you to select the keyboard of your choice. Select your alternative keyboard and it will then appear for you.
I was using TNT lite 2.2 - I just plugged in the usb transceiver and it worked. I had it from a splurge earlier and used it with presentations - if the dongle were smaller it would be very useful.

[Q] Android Browser with "Next" function

Hi,
I am looking for a browser that has the ability to display a "next" key/button when entering forms/fields (like the iPhone/iPod Touch browser does). I have tried the Miren Browser, Dolphin HD, and stock 2.3.4 browser on my Atrix with no luck (stock keyboard and Smart Keyboard Pro). Does anyone know of a combination that will offer a "next" button?
Thanks in advance!!
I found a keyboard that does it-the Thumb Keyboard-it is on the Android Market and the Amazon Appstore.

I haven't tried it yet, but Thumb Keyboard is free today on Amazon.
"Enter" / "Intro" / "Submit" key on most keyboards usually works as next when filling in a form.

[Q] Did the ASUS keyboards trace functionality break with ICS?

I had stopped using the ASUS keyboard pretty much as soon as I got the Prime. What I didn't know was that it had the trace feature built in. I've gone back to it to test it out and see how well it works only to find it non functional. The checkbox is ticked in settings but tracing just isn't working. Did this break with ICS?
same here. i didnt realize asus keyboard had trace. it wouldn't work on my browser's url field but it's working for this post.
it seems like it works fine everywhere except the default prime browser url field.
what is trace?
its sliding your finger over the letters on your on screen keyboardl like
It consists in sliding from one letter to another instead of 'typing'. See Swype, SlideIt and other keyboards on the Market.
Very efficient on phones as you can 'type' with one thumb without needing to use your both hands. Didn't try yet on my tablet, I installed Thumb Keyboard.
Works perfect for me. I use a different keyboard but I tested it on mine & my chick uses it daily on hers.

Bluetooth mice and hover controls?

I connected a bluetooth mouse I had lying around hoping it would allow me to use the browser like a desktop browser with support for things like popups that occur when hovering the cursor over a link/picture, dragging flash or other controls, drag-select text.
None of these things worked. The cursor appears and I can move, tap, drag and use the scroll wheel. But it basically behaves as a surrogate of my finger. All the web controls that would require a mouse on a desktop and that don't work with my finger, don't work any better with the cursor.
Is this the expected behaviour? I tried the stock browser, Dolphin and Firefox. They were all the same.
Is there any advantage to using a bluetooth mouse? The only things I can see are less fingerprints on the screen a better precision for positioning the text cursor. But my capacitive stylus covers those just as well.
Thanks.
Tried it on Chrome? Depends with FW are you on, and kernel.

Does it work properly on Chrome? From what I understand Chrome requires ICS and while I played with it briefly it seemed like it still needed work on stability and I use the camera for Evernote. But I'd be happy if ICS supports proper mouse integration.
I'm using Task 14 with Pershoot's kernal.
Thanks.

With what you are using, I believe you are getting the expected behavior. "an extension of your finger"

Not entirely sure since I don't have a BTooth mouse but will test it for you sometime this week.

[APP] SwiftKey Flow

SwiftKey Flow keyboard now available in beta for phone and tablet!
http://www.swiftkey.net/flow/
I've had it for a day now on my Nexus 10 and GS3. Very impressed! The split landscape setup is especially useful on my tablet. Try it and shout out what you think.

Thx so much. I will try it.
dosent seem to be working for me. Its installed and set as default keyboard but swipe does not work
It's swipe in portrait and split typing in landscape. Makes sense for a tablet.

It's swipe while you aren't typing on a url, gmail and etc...
They need to copy thumb keyboard on the spacing and put TAB on main screen....

Not sure what you are trying to say here. The tablet version does not swipe in landscape. I have tried messaging, gmail, forums, notepads, etc. It does swipe in portrait. So, if I am landscape typing an email, then I use my thumbs to type on the split keyboard. Then, in the same process I turn it to portrait and then start swiping. This only makes sense, since swiping in landscape on a tablet seems a huge waste of energy.

You're right, I'm just typing from it and it's lovely. I'm completely sure I'll be buying it. What I was trying to say was that while entering an url, the swipe is disabled, and while typing passwords and such too, so I thought it was disabled all the time. The default android keyboard has swipe on landscape, so i thought this one would too. Thanks for the advice! This keyboard make typing so much easier.
Tried the tablet version and doesn't do auto predict for me.
Not sure what could cause that to happen. Did you configure it after install? Do any words show up?

Do you use boat browser by any chance?
Predictions dont work when using this app for me and apparently its because boat browser specifically tells the keyboard not to predict.
Neither swipe or predictions work on my nexus 10 with chrome and ocean browsers...... Why?
I use ocean and boat but works in nothing
Swipe only works in portrait. If it's not working at all then your best bet is to join the SwiftKey vip forums and report problems to them. After all, it is a beta, and as such they need to know these things.

Deleted this post. Issue was not caused by this app.
I've actually went back to the stock keyboard now.
The predictions are great when you can actually use them but the problem is they deactivate in most apps I use like boat browser. They say that's because boat browser instructs swift key to disable predictions, so why does the default keyboard still work then?
That and the complete absence of arrow keys like the phone version.
Patience expired with this app.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for secondary users either; you can install it, but it doesn't appear under Language and input.
