Does anyone know a way to stop the keyboard from coming up when using the pen in any of the pen enabled apps (the note app specifically) As much as I try to get the palm down first, it is was too inconsistent for me.
For the notes app there is a tip that is widely known:
Push down your left hand thumb at the very left corner of the screen (where you cant write anyway) and hold it down while you write.
It works really good and made the notes app usable for me - before knowing about this trick I wasn't able to take down notes without interruptions.
For the over apps... no idea.
thanks! hopefully that will fix my issues until I can design/find a method to lock the keyboard. I do not usually have my left hand wrapped around enough to put my thumb on the screen.
Just downloaded the Access Graffiti app yesterday. It is just like the Palm Graffiti from the old days. It's pretty awesome with the Note since we have a Stylus... er... S-Pen.
Anybody else use the app?
Q:
Any idea how to click "enter" when trying to submit a search?
Q:
I wish there was a way to do on the fly switching between keyboard and Graffiti. Perhaps this exists and I'm just missing it [?]. [it would be amazing if there was a way to default to keyboard unless the stylus was removed - but as far as I know the phone doesn't sense the presence of the stylus].
The phone does sense the spen.
Put the tip of the pen close to the screen but not touching and you will notice it keeps the screen from turning off

It doesn't sense when the S-Pen is removed - If I had one major gripe, I'd say that is it. It would be nice to have the screen turn on the moment you remove the S-Pen.
Hey man, I just downloaded the Graffiti for Android. It's actually pretty awesome. Now I just need to memorize the keys... I don't know if figured it out already but I have an answer from your first questions.
"Q: Any idea how to click "enter" when trying to submit a search?"
If you tap and drag from the top right diagonally to bottom left it is the command for "return". Actually you can see all the commands if you swype up. A little window will show up and you can cycle through the box of commands by tapping.
I love this Graffiti app!
Anybody know of a way to pop open a pen window without having to pull out the pen.
I find the pen window quite handy but ...
Ideally I'd love to be able to just pop open a pen window at a set size directly from a shortcut window without the pen at all.
Any ideas appreciated.

Ok. Maybe there isn't a way to do this at the moment. Anybody know if maybe Tasker will let me pop out a pen window.

I created small app that triggers Air Command menu. Could you try it on Note 10.1 (2014) as I don't have it.
You can get the app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610770

These just require that you use S Pen. This app only shows the menu.
Ahh.. ok so it works..
Requires root ?

I updated the app:
1) Scrapbooker - it requires S Pen. You can to select are with S Pen if you click this action.
2) Pen Window now whould work.
Also you can now put this shortcut to Multiwindow menu.
I still have one question for Note 10.1 users. If you set S Pen detach action to None in Android settings does this app still open Air Command properly for you?

Thanks. I still don't get why I have a bunch of comments in Play Store that it does nothing on Note 10.1
Very nice shortcut app....

So is anyone having this issue, that app does not start Air Command? Anyone tried it on LTE model?
seriously.. it's weird.. I read the comments on play store and i don;t know why people with note 10.1 2014 are saying that it is not working. I have p605(LTE) model and for me it works like it should. Hmm.. Is it possible that it works because i'm rooted...?? I don't think so.. but...
I have p600 wifi only and the shortcut works fine. I haven't been able to get the Themed air command versions to work yet. Wally3614 is already making it for Note 3, (which I also have and it works perfect as does this shortcut app) and he is attempting to get testers on Note 10.1 2014 at my request to port....

I'm having that issue after getting the app from your thread. Do I just install the app and start it up or am I missing something? When I click the icon, nothing happens. I'm rooted on p600.

Yes you should just start the app and it is supposed to display Air Command on bottom right.
This apps sets you spen detach action to Air Command, sends SPen detach event and then restores old detach action. Normally you don't need to adjust any of your settings. But since it does not work could you try a few things:
1) Do you have S Pen detach action?
2) Try setting it manually to S Pen detach and see if app works then?
I will try to fix it when I understand how it fails.

I followed your instructions and tried setting pen detachment options to "none" as well as trying it with "air command". I also tried it both with the pen attached and detached. However, none of these seemed to work. For the Spen options, i have all of them checked and all of them turned on.
The only notification I get when I press the icon for the app is that it says "S-pen has been detached" at the top. I'll be happy to try anything else if you need.

But if you select Air Command for detach and actually detach S Pen it properly triggers Air Command?
How many options do you have in Pen Detachment options? Is it 3: Note, Action Memo, Air Command?
Not exactly what you've asked for, but tested in my note 2 with Phoenix ROM (4.3) and it worked flawlessly.
I can see potential on this app. Is there someway to customize the air view menu?

Yes, if I select air command and then actually detach the Spen afterwards, then it triggers the command. But without detaching the pen, nothing comes up. Under pen detachment i have None, action memo, and Air command.
Edit: Oh, I don't think I made it clear. It pops up when I take the Spen out only when I have it set to air command. If set to none, then nothing pops up either way.
I would like to disable Air Command in order to make the s pen button available to apps. I have found the air command settings, but there does not seem to be an option to disable it altogether. If I delete all the shortcuts and then press the button, it appears with a "helpful" tip to use the s pen >detachment settings to disable it. But there is no such section, presumably because the pen cannot be inserted into this tablet.
Is there truly no way to disable Air Command?
Can anyone either confirm to problem or tell me what I am missing?

Doesn't look like there is a way to disable it completely (even in the System Apps menu). But the button is available to use when use in apps as an eraser (a la Microsoft Word) even with Air Command enabled if you hold it. It seems like Air Command doesn't pop up if you long press the button instead of a short click.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. I have discovered this, and that it also works if you touch the screen with the pen before releasing it. (It occurs to me that may be more about the extra time it takes to do that than the touch).
When I began trying to disable Air Command, I was using an app with broken button support. Now that I understand that Air Command does not interfere with the use of the button in apps I am happy to leave it enabled.

I'm a bit late to this post, but I wanted to let you know there is a way around that. I was able to disable it by freezing it in titanium (pretty sure that feature requires root, so there is your one catch.) You won't be able to disable it from your regular app settings as samsung doesn't allow this. Just search air in titanium and you should see it.
When I found this fix I was overcome with joy and satisfaction. I F*cking hate air command, and especially hate gimmicks that are forced on the end user. The button has so many other uses in drawing apps, but those uses get nerfed by having an annoying popup come up unless you long press. Samsung should have enabled air command as a long press event.
"BK package disabler" app works fine with me. Im using Galaxy Tab 10.1 with S Pen. This app can disable only the air command feature while enabling other in-app functions that are using s pen button. The "Air Command" app is under the "System" tab in the app. No rooting required. One thing is you have to buy the app but the price is cheap and it is worth the money!
Dude, thanks
