Does anyone find that hitting the space bar ends up hitting the. Com button instead?
Gets annoying any solutions to remove the. Com button or any alternative keyboards?
Thanks
Your fingers are too fat
Doesn't the .com only appear when writing web addresses? How big a problem can it be?
Maybe it's different from mine, I'm using a Danish keyboard and the space button is pretty big.

I use a Danish keyboard as well but I keep hitting the Caps key instead of the 'a' key. Guess my fingers are too fat as well.
How about the modded HTC_IME thats been around forever? I use it on any aosp/aokp roms that doesnt have sense keyboard

My friend has the. Inspire. And a cool feature of his keyboard is when he rubs his finger across multiple letters. It moves his blinking line around. I have a hard time going back through text if I have made a mistake. Is there a keyboard I can get for the attic like that?
Thank you!

Its called Swype and it came preinstalled on your Atrix. On your phone go to a messaging or email app, anything where you would normally input text. Hold your finger down in that area and you will get a popup, select input method, swype.
Ahh crap.. Ty! Not exactly what I had in mind but it works!

I see, you mean the cursor. Now that you have Swype installed, on the botom left of your keyboard swype from the "s hand" button to the "sym" button. Now you have cursor controls.
Check out thumb keyboard in the market. Had cursor control and different themes.

SwiftKey has a new beta version on the market. Try it out, i like it very much.
Well, Swiftkey X has lost its appeal to me.
What are some of the best keyboards out there that, as odd a request as it might seem, are also light on system resources?
I just like a snappy keyboard that doesn't take two seconds to pop up or disappear, and doesn't 'stumble' when typing (no input for a sec, then all of a sudden puts in your last 3 strokes).
I don't need much in terms of theming, but the one thing I found with Swiftkey that I REALLY fell in love with was the ability to change the long key press time threshold...for example, I decreased it from like 500ms to 250ms...it makes typing for me a whole lot faster. Are there any other keyboards with that?
Thanks for your input fellas.
My swipe pops up right away. However, I HATE typing passwords or usernames with it. I know that doesn't really help, as I cna't find any keyboards I like... I can't stand swiftkey, especially with the browser, as that .com is ALWAYS in the way when I try to search. For general use, I like the stock keyboard actually... its less laggy than the froyo one was, but it still is a bit laggy...
i used for a while go keyboard, but now i'm using thumb keyboard 4 and it's highly customizable, fast no lags, perfect for my big fingers

I've been eyeing that one and think I'll check out the free demo/trial they have.
Unfortunately, Mgamerz, I kinda don't like any swype keyboards. I actually tried going back to it for a while when Swiftkey started fading and still couldn't get into it.
Thanks for the input guys.
I'm using thumb keyboard and its pretty good. Really like the portrait layout, making it soeasy to type.
It would be much better if it let me customize every single keys so I can make my own layout or keys that I use often.

Go keyboard is best for me. You have swipe, you can adjust intensity of vibration you have everything.

Well I was mistaken, there is no demo.
But you like it? Never ran into any lag? I see a review here and there that says it lags but it was literally only like 2, and one of them was using the LG optimus (the little crappy one T-mobile has, I think)
@knjigo: You're right...I don't like swyping though. Plus, I'm actually referring not to the length of the vibration feedback, but to how long it takes for, say, when I press a letter at the top with a number mapped "under" it for the long keypress, I could actually change how long I had to wait while pressing the letter to get the number to pop up.
I like it. Using it since alien rom and now I'm using cm7. I have experienced NO lag at all on this beast.

Any of you know a good keyboard that doesn't take up the whole space in landscape? I love swype, but hate the fact that it takes up the whole space -__-

Awesome. Glad to hear.
Can anybody offer a comparison between Thumb Keyboard and another keyboard called Perfect Keyboard?

I use FlexT9 - It works great - even in browsers and typing usernames/passwords (just type like a regular keyboard) and its a "swype" style keyboard.

ai type keyboard beta with windows 7 theme. no lag at all. i was using go but this is like freaking amazing!!!
I have used multiling keyboard after testing a bunch in the beginning. I think it doesn't get enough attention. No lag, and highly customizable....including the length of long press!
Also doesn't take full screen in landscape.

Is there a keyboard out that has a space bar the is longer, with the ability to autocorrect? I like the I'm using, but I keep hitting the period instead of the space bar. I would imagine cutting the enter key in half, and removing the keyboard setting button would suffice. I am using the gingerbread sense mod board currently.
Thank you in advance,

I use better 8 keyboard. It might not show in the market, just google it. Im sure you will find it. There is a paid version and a free version, the free version is okay but its well worth buying, however alot of people google it and find the .apk file already online, but i suggest supporting the dev. who made it.
I use Thumb Keyboard (paid version) and it gives me different layout options. You might wanna check that out in the market as well.
I keep hearing people say Swype and for the life of me I have tried it, but it just seems to make top many mistakes

Lol. What keyboard are you using? If you typed that with Swype (timely typo), then maybe try to adjust the sensitivity and maybe checkout the tutorial. I was having issues too until I played around with it. Now it's my go to keyboard. Good luck
I use perfect keyboard. I find that swiping a single finger can't possibly touch the speed of two thumbs. Plus I like the split keyboard in landscape as without it is a bitbof a stretch.

Another one for Thumb Keyboard here. I've tried just about everything out there and always come back to it, the best one available in my opinion.

I used to use Better Keyboard before it was taken off the Market, but now I use ICS keyboard previously mentioned. If I ever used landscape to type, I'd grab a thumb keyboard.
Just picked up Swift Key X for. 49!

+1 for SwiftkeyX. And yep.. its on sale! Grab it before the price returns to normal.

LOVE better keyboard.
+1 for the ICS keyboard in the market. Great keyboard. I've got swiftkey but I just found it kind of meh.
I use Swype and I have a terrible time going back to any keyboard that doesn't have some sort of swiping interaction.
I have pretty large hands and I can reach all the way across the screen with my thumb, so I can hold and use the keyboard with the same hand. I don't think I'd be able to do that without a swiping keyboard.
I use swiftkey tablet X but there is one thing that annoys me to not end. The little area to the left of the "a" I seem to always hit vibrates when you click it but results in no "a".

Swype, but I use it like a standard keyboard (no 'swyping'). I use it because it has a hidden keyboard which makes cursor movement and other editing keys available. I came from a phone that had a mini joystick which made cursor movements around a text box very easy.
If you are wondering, to bring up the hidden keyboard you swype from the swype button to the right to the EN/'World' button.

Quite a few keyboards in the market have hidden cursors. Perfect keyboard and Gingerbread keyboard (by Stephen Lin I think) have hold, slide up space bar to get cursors.

Don't get me wrong...love my note....but the keyboard is just too wi6de for comfort! The keys by the edges of the screen aren't the most accessible. If the entire keyboard could be indented by about a cm on each side....things would be perfect! Anyone know of such a solution?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
If you're rooted, and like Swype, uninstall the stock one, go to beta.swype.com get the installer and run it, it should install a smaller one instead.

Take a look at Swiftkey or Thumb keyboards. The are both very configurable and might provide the functionality you are looking for. I have been using Swiftkey exclusively, both for its split keyboard setting which is great for the GNotes wide landscape format, and for its freakaly accurate word prediction software. Swiftkey will learn your typing style and gets better at its corrections with use. Both the Thumb and the Swiftkey keyboards allow you to reconfigure the height and the width of the board keys; a functionality which seems to at address your stated interest, if i am understanding you.
