Hi I have a bluetooth keyboard \ mouse combo that works great except that when I type the on screen keyboard pops up as well. I use swiftkey, and so I can swipe down to hide the keyboard, but I would rather have the keyboard not pop up at all when using the bluetooth keyboard. Anyone know how I might accomplish this? Oh yeah, it does it regardless of what keyboard is an using.
As esc is the back button, you can press it to hide the keyboard, faster then swiping it down

There's an app that is called blueinput that is suppose to give much more functionality to a connected Bluetooth keyboard including a way to hide the on-screen keyboard. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. try it. Its in the market.
From the Tab.

Or you could install wifikeyboard from the market. This ime would not block

I just patched AnySoftKeyboard to automatically hide on hardware input... when it's integrated, it could be a good option.

Is there an option or a setting which will enable "Word Suggestions" when using the Milestone's physical keyboard and CM7?
I've used Swiftkey in the past, which is a great keyboard that does have word suggestions for the physical kbd. But I've gone back to the stock keyboard for now, and I miss the suggestions.

Swiftkey is amazing! I'm using it right know! It's amazing!
As the topic says - its annoying when I use my BT keyboard (Verbatim folding keyboard) and the Android Thum keyboard keeps popping up and down everytime I switch fields.
ANything can be done to disable this?
Look for a null keyboard on the market.
you have to do is go to settings, uncheck the box labeled android keyboard and thumbs keybord
Good Tip
I was wondering how to do this without dowloading anything haha thank you
Hi all,
is it possible to stop the onscreen keyboard being displayed when you are using a BT or USB keyboard?
It just wastes half of the screen when you don't need to see the onscreen keyboard.
thanks,

Try disabling the keyboards from language and inputs.
but I presume on of them is system persistent. But just try and let us know.
There is a Null Keyboard app that just does nothing. I installed that and select it when I use an external keyboard.

Thanks Null Keyboard is what I need. Shame there isn't an option to do it through the system. It seems pretty obvious that if you have an external keyboard connected, you aren't going to need the onscreen keyboard.
It is actually quite easy, all you have to do is tap the return (back) button and the keyboard will sink in. I use a BT keyboard with both Samsung's QWERTY and Google's Japanese input (Beta) and in both cases I can get rid of the onscreen keyboard without a hitch.
What I'm really curious to know thugh if there is a good tutorial for keys you can use to edit while writing, selecting, copying, pasting, making bold or cursive, that kind of thing.
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?

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

I'm not sure why android continues to so this, but why can't they allow for long press options on the keyboard? My phone keyboard shows the numbers as long press options at the top, my tablet does not.
The only long press options on the keyboard are punctuations.
Is there a way to fix this? Use phone keyboard on tablet?

I wonder why that is as well. I looked through all the keyboard settings and didn't see an option for that but really would like to have it.
Try the Swype Beta keyboard (google it). Numbers are a long press.
Not really interested in swype or any of the other keyboard options. I like stock functions the best, just curious about the long press buttons missing in tablet format.
Personally that's the reason why I use stock keyboard on my Tablet. I use Swiftkey on my phone because it's quick, and the Gingerbread keyboard isn't as nice as the stock Jelly Bean. I really like how it isn't cluttered and is just clean.
