[Q]How to go to a new line with Swype Keyboard in SMS mode ?

I feel so stupid for not being able to figure it out , but how exactly do you go to a new line when compiling a text message with Swype keyboard? Inside Samsung’s SMS app, the return key is replaced with a shortcut to emoticons. Which I think is a nice customization, but I would also like to be able to go to a new line somehow. My swype ver is 1.62.38.8642.

Have you tried to access the "cursor keys"? Just swype the two bottom left keys from left to right. Mine doesn't have the emoticons so I can't test it.

Cursor keys layout doesn't have an enter key either,i have attached both layouts. Is there a gesture of some sort??

[Q] Weird keyboard request...

I love the keyboard, but i realized i never use the enter key on it...and I was wondering if there was a way to replace the enter key with lets say a little optical joystick thing? Kind of like how the Incredible had the optical joystick or whatever you want to call it....but have it as an onscreen thing.

Smart Keyboard Pro has an option to change it to smileys. You can customize the smiley menu so actually you can make it anything you want. So you can set it up so just press that button to say "Hello" (idk if theres a character limit on it)

I appreciate the respond but i was hoping that it someone could customize and put a joystick or something in there...just so when i have paragraphs of text it will be a lot easier to navigate through and fix words...the size of the enter button is comparable to the size of the optical joystick thing on the Incredible and the actually joystick thing on the Eris...i know its wishful thinking just thought it would be neat.

I am with you there. It is a bit annoying to change letters by clicking and picking that blue picket to move it to the letter you want. Being precise on a captive touch screen is basically non existent.

I believe the keyboard app mentioned above has the ability to add arrow keys. I will check and update.

Smart keyboard pro has an option in the general settings to "show arrows". So as stated above it is imo the best choice.

Yes there is an option to show arrows. I don't use it because I'm pretty used to where to press to get where I want. But i remember a few years ago when I first got into Android, I did need the arrow keys and they did wonders.

[Q] Using S-Pen in a browser?

Can I use S-pen to write URL or search terms in Google, for example?

Only if you enable handwriting recognition in the stock keyboard. You can't write directly in the address or search bar if that's what you mean.

Thanks..I wonder if in ICS handwriting will be able to do that? (write directly on the page.)

The title of this thread made me think... the S-pen could allow the use of a proper hover and click UI if a browser supported it. How great would that be? I know Opera supports this with trackballs/pads and mice... anyway just thinking out loud.

or you can
i don't have handwriting whenever pen is detected enabled on my phone. but i still use pen in search and any where keypad can be used. every time the stock keyboard is displayed, it has a key that has a capital T with a little pen beside it. just click that and the handwriting pad will pop up. to return to keypad there is a icon of a keyboard on the top row of that window to return to keypad.

The T option is that with using the Default Samsung keyboard?

[Q] S-Pen button... is it "re-assignable"? (for instant keyboard switch)

Hi
I need to change keyboards not fast... instantly. I have a handwriting IME and a normal [Japanese] keyboard that I regularly need one or the other. The process of lowering the bar, tapping the keyboard and then switching is too cumbersome.
So I was thinking... how useless the S-Pen button is in the current state (for me at least). I don't use any of it's "commands", nor to open the S-Memo or anything. Can it be assigned to something else? It would be great that it could be used to change the keyboard. Like, if I push the button while clicking a text box, it would open the handwriting IME. And if I just click the text box without the button, it opens up the regular keyboard.
Is there any app or any way to do this?
Otherwise, is there something (aside the S-Pen button) that can help in "instant switching" the keyboard?

Multi-ling keyboard will probably solve that keyboard issu, but it's a no for changing the button function.

Hi,
Isn't there an option in Samsung Keyboard which will automatically open handwriting pad is s pen is used?

There is but for some reason it doesn't work on mine. Not only that, but the T with pen button is greyed out on the keyboard.

Keyboard lag

There is a slight delay switching from the letter keyboard to the numbers and signs keyboard. I would be texting and trying to put a ? But because I am typing to fast it appears as a k instead of a ?
Is anyone else having this problem?

I find the HTC keyboard also a bit laggy. But I switched back to the official paid version of Swype. No lags and better imho.

I tried Swype didn't really like it. Gonna try other keyboards. But the lag is gone from Swype but I don't like how the keyboard has a Swype key where the symbols key suppose to be. Also the vibrate on the Swype key is too intense compared to the HTC keyboard.

I use swift key for typing. Very accurate and better than stock. Don't like the design as much though. Also like it better than swype which I tried out for a bit.

I'm trying to use swift right now which is a lot better the swipe Imo. But I am used to traditional way of inserting symbols and numbers where the numbers were on top and symbols at the bottom two rows. Because I came from iPhone which I've been using for the past 3 years.
But this one gives a number pad with symbols on the right side of the keyboard. But I set so I don't have to hold down as long for symbols which is very good and I might stick to this keyboard. I feel it is a lot better then the stock keyboard. I feel I would be typing a lot faster once I get used to holding down keys for symbols and numbers.
But is there a way to add words to your dictionary? Cause tapping the word on the suggestions doesn't say added to dictionary.
