whats it do??

what is it?

Gives you pinch to zoom on the touchpad, simulates dragging the screen, whereas the mouse cursor works more like a laptop. Anything else?

round circle thingy (like finger sized round circle) instead of a cursor.

Scrolling with the dock.

Pardon if this was talked about already... App doesn't let you search in just a forum.
I'm using my dock and I switched from gesture to mouse pointer. In mouse pointer the scroll is backwards. It is most notable when I'm on my home screen. I have my dock set to pop up when I swipe down and my app drawer open with I swipe up. When using the dock I have to scroll up to open the dock and scroll down to open the app drawer.

Along the lines of both. Putting out and FYI for everyone without a dock and asking if those with the dock are having this issue.

Swype after ICS

It seems as though Swype has been broken after updating to ics, anyone else having this problem?

I still use swype on my phone but on the Prime, I found Thumb Keyboard to be sooo much nicer. It makes tablet typing to sooo much better..
Check it out...Its in the market.
Just thought I would share.

+1 for Thumb Keyboard. Let me give you a tip for something that works even better than my normal desktop.
Thumb Keyboard has a button that looks like a thumbtack that opens up a list of editable "Quick Text" buttons you can edit. At the top I have my name, various logins, and email addresses. If you *scroll* to the very bottom you see something I've labeled "pw". Whenever I need to login in to anything it goes: Thumbtack button --> login --> tab (directly below the thumbtack button) --> thumbtack --> scroll to bottom --> password --> Enter. It seriously takes me 2 seconds to log into anything. It's awesome. Granted, I've encrypted my Prime and have a Lock Password set, so I'm not too worried about the security.
That's just one use of Thumb Keyboard though. It's super customisable, much moreso than SwiftKey (which I use on my phone), and has word-but-not-sentence prediction. I type much faster using it than I do with my phone.

Discovered i don't need swype. The stock Asus keyboard has its own implementation that's just as good, if not better!

Changing keyboard automatically when docking/undocking

When not using the dock, I prefer to use Thumb Keyboard from the market for the on-screen keyboard. The problem is when I dock the tablet, the keyboard stays on Thumb Keyboard, which uses the US keyboard layout which is a bit of a problem since my Prime is the UK model. The keyboard layout differs slightly which is not a huge problem but it does get a bit annoying.
I can manually change the keyboard back to the Asus keyboard but that seems to be an extra step in something that should be automated. Does anyone know if there is an app or a setting that tells the tablet to change keyboard automatically when you dock or undock the keyboard? Thanks!

I believe there is an application for that, but I don't remember it's name unfortunately. It might require root too.
I'm also using thumb keyboard, but I haven't found any inconsistencies yet, could you point them out to me?
As for fixing your issue, you could try the ' alternative/international keyboards' setting
The only one I have found so far are @ and " being switched around. (shift+2 is @ on US keyboard, " in UK) There might be more but I haven't really tested them out. Anyway I tried looking at the international keyboard settings but there seems to be no way to change to the UK layout; there's just one QWERTY keyboard.

i just did the other day using viperboys method, it was done in less than 10 minutes with NO hassle. HIHGLY recommend it. i pretty much did it for this app, which USED to be paid. for w/e reason, dev made free... and im glad!
my only possibly objection to KBM, it places a notification in the bottom right. i just hate notifications. i try to clear em asap. but, same goes for external sds... so i guess we just deal with it lol...
Lol. I know lots of people get annoyed by notification icons but I'm pretty cool with them so it should be alright. Thanks for the tip on the rooting method.

in the settings for keyboard manager you can disable to the notification.

ya i know but leaving a notification makes it more of a persistent app. i use swipepad on my phone with notification persistence but the dev made it possible to make the notification icon transparent. this should be in ALL notification icons imho!

Touchscreen Keyboard with Dock?

Is there a way to switch and Use Touchscreen Keyboard while in Dock?
Thanks
Yes, it seems that it was just recently added but when you are in a typing window with the dock connected look in the bottom right corner for the keyboard icon. Click that and then in that menu there is a switch at the top to switch between using physical and virtual keyboard.

I have different but similar question.
If there is any way to use external keyboard (I mean loaded from the Market, like Swype or Thumb keyboard) with dock. I can't change language layout.

How to reverse 2 finger side scroll?

Is it possible to reverse the movement of the 2 finger side scroll? because right now if i swype to the right on the homescreen, the homescreen moves one to the right. But i would like to have it the opposite, like how vertical scrolling works right now. Is it possible to reverse the action of the side scroll?
