Hey all--
Thumb keyboard seems to be highly recommended, so i downloaded it. However, I'm having a bit of a problem. The default keyboard which inputs letters and such shows numbers instead, and when you press the button to switch to number mode, all the keys go blank. I attached two screenshots of the problem, hopefully you can help.

I think that perhaps you have the keytop color set to black. Look in the settings under Colors.
I'm using the Thumb Keyboard to type this, and have been using it with CM7, 9, and now 10.

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.
I have had this unusual problem with the Swype keyboard. At times, the keyboard will stay up even though there is no text box. It often happens when doing a google search and clicking on one of the suggestions that pops up. The window will open, but the keyboard stays up and can't be minimized.
Currently using UnNamed with Swype version 3.25.91
I noticed this also when on a different ROM with a different Swype version.
Anyone else jabbed this occur?

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.
Smart keyboard here.

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!

I switch between swype and thumb keyboard.
+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?

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.

Just curious what keyboard everyone is using. The S4 is defaulted to the Samsung keyboard which uses SwiftKey, but the S4 also comes with Swype. Are you using one of those, or are you using another? Maybe the SwiftKey or Swype from the market to gain some more options? Another keyboard?
What are you using, and why do you prefer it?
I'm using SwiftKey from the market. The stock Samsung keyboard does not have auto correct which is not something I can deal with.

I'm using stock 4.2.2 keyboard because I like the Holo UI look.
Kii. It has the option for the top number row like the stock keyboard, but it has autocorrect. I own Swiftkey also, but I hate it.
I use swiftkey from the market although the stock keyboard is kinda nice with the number row on top
installed the AOSP 4.2.2 keyboard. got so use to it when i was on my nexus, why change..
Check out the Swype keyboard I modded for a dedicated number row:

i am using the google keyboard currently, but looking for something with a little better flow. the fact that the comma key isn't on the letter screen bothers me.
+1 SwiftKey.

I've been using swiftkey but the lag the keyboard creates drove me crazy. I'm now using the Google keyboard and I bounce to the kii keyboard every once in a while.
