Opera Mobile 9.5 landscape soft keyboard pop-up

does anyone know of a way to disable the annoying soft keyboard popup when you are in landscape mode and have the hard keyboard out? i saw an old thread about this but wondered if any concrete solution had been found for the Raphael.
thanks!

take a look at blownfuze.org (pass/user xda/xda).
there is a nullkeyboard.
install it and select as input method, that should fix the problem

Thanks for the response... that does work; however, it isn't exactly a "smart" solution because the setting doesn't rely on the current mode (portrait versus landscape), so when you close the keyboard and switch to portrait, it does not switch out the null keyboard for a working keyboard.
not that I do a lot of typing in the portrait mode...but would be nice to have both options
thanks anyway (and I'm using that for now)

Keyboard doesn't work in landscape mode

Edit: Problem solved using NE Gdocs instead of GDocs.
When using the keyboard in landscape mode with GDocs, it doesn't input letters. It works fine with other apps. I tried many keyboards, same problem: Swift Key, Smart Keyboard and stock N1 keyboard.
My N1 has stock Froyo and is rooted. Can anybody help me ?

Help you to write a message to app developer to fix his bug?

[Q] The keyboard in landscape

Ok, there's something annoying about the andriod keyboard, that when you enter the landscape mode it show you the keyboard in a fullscreen and that keeps you away from knowing what's going on the background. And it's become a big thing when you use it for chatting alot, unlike the IPhone for example.
I tried to find any apps or any tweaks to modify the keyboard but no luck .
So any ideas

[Q] Keyboard pop up on keypress

Hi all
Really loving my HTC One. I like the keyboard and dont want to change it, but it has one annoyance.
The keys on the keyboard popup when pressed and I cant find the option to turn this off. Does anything one if this can be turned off?
Thanks,
Adam

Just use a 3rd party keyboard cause AFAIK there's no way you can remove that unless you mod the keyboard apk. which requires root and a developer interested on what you want.

Anyone know of a way to disable hardware keys in portrait mode?

Whenever in portrait mode the thin bezel means you risk touching the back key. This is bloody annoying.
I'm wondering if it is possible to disable (or temporarily remap to null) the hardware keys. I know by tinkering with system files in a root browser they can be disabled on boot, but surely it is possible (with xposed?) to do this on the fly.
I'm thinking a tasker task to disable the keys on specific apps etc.
Can anyone give any advice?
I posted on the wanam thread in xposed to try and get him to add it, but no one replied. Surely it's not only me who would find this useful?

Just rotate 180 degrees, grab the camera side, then touch buttons are on the opposite side.

What if I have two hands?

@pingtiao
Use Xposed framework and Gravitybox to disable the softkeys and use pie controls.

Thanks @jball
I tried that but it didn't seem possible to do this for just one orientation or app. Is it possible? Can it be accessed via tasker?

Thanks firm your help guys. For anyone who wants to know: expanded desktop in GB gives option to disable hardware keys. Tasker can toggle the expanded desktop using send intent " ------ action: gravitybox.intent.action.TOGGLE_EXPANDED_DESKTOP"
SOLVED!
