Samsung Keyboard Alternate Characters moved? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hey All,
New to the forums, just recently got my Note 8, so far love it. I have an issue, over the night it seems my keyboard alternate key's have changed locations. I didn't mess with any settings and for the life of me I can't seem to revert it back.
Is this something Samsung may have changed in an update or is this possibly something I changed inadvertently? The only thing I can see that's different, there's a new "World" button between the space bar and period to swap languages from Chinese to English (Which wasn't there before). Space bar is way narrower
For example my question mark has moved from the "M" key to the "Q" key, it's not a HUGE issue I just really liked the locations before and I'm annoyed how it's changed.
I was suggested to just change to Gboard but not a fan of that either.
Thanks in Advance

I hv the same issue and i just want to relocate the alternative characters. Anyone can help?

How to adjust menu horizontal separator spacing???

Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone knows the registry key (or other) to adjust the vertical spacing of the separator (horizontal line) between items in a menu. My Rogers Touch Diamond came out of the box with terribly altered menu font sizes and various other items with the intention (I'm assuming) to make it more touch friendy. The problem is the menus were never designed to be this way, so it appeared very sloppy and out of place. I finally managed to find the various registry keys to bring font sizes and selection dots and check marks back to the normal size (as per my previous HTC Touch) with the exception of one thing: the spacing above and below the horizontal separator line.
The first attached image ("Old.jpg") shows how the menu previously looked on my Touch. The second image ("New.jpg") shows how my Diamond currently looks. You'll notice that everything is basically the same now, except for the space above and below the horizontal line.
I did some searching, and came across the "SepYMrg" key in HKLM\System\GWE\Menu. The MSDN site defines this key as "the margin of white space above the menu separator line", which sounds like what I am looking for (or at least half of it). The key did not exist in my registry but, after adding and adjusting it, the result was still not what I'm after; instead of adding more "white space" above and below the line, it seemed to make the line thicker. The third attached image ("Adj.jpg") shows the result.
Does anyone know how I can make the necessary adjustments to get my Diamond's menus looking like the old ones? Any help would be much appreciated, as always.
Regards,
Bump.
I'm sorry to keep bumping this thread, but I'm hoping eventually it may catch the eye of someone with the answer.

space bar lag & large soft button menus

Ive noticed an incredably annoying problem on my latest 6.1 ROM. When I am typing on the hard keyboard my sentanceso ftenc omeo utl iket his! Due to a delay in a space being inserted after hitting the space bar. I think I have read this is a common problem on some ROMs. Is there a solution? I have disabled the word suggestion and auto correction features.
Lastly, how do you revert to standard sized menus? My latest ROM shows soft button menus full screen and I really dont like this.
I hope someone out there knows of some cabs that may help.
Thanks guys.
For the keyboard speed up solution, it's one of the stickies at the top of the Kaiser Software forum, here. As for the large menus, you must get some kind of registry editor, and change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\CUIHandler"
to DWORD "0", this worked perfectly on my old ROM.

Thanks Dave1. Much appreciated mate.

About samsung stock keyboard

Hi everyone! It's good to be back. I just switched from an iPhone 6 to a Galaxy S6 (G920F) few days ago but I am not new with rooting and other things in android. I just have some questions and I need help.
1. How can I make the stock samsung keyboard to always show uppercase keys (like the one in the iPhone). I do not like using 3rd party keyboards. I want the stock samsung keyboard to NOT display lowercase keys. I WANT IT TO PERMANENTLY DISPLAY UPPERCASE KEYS.
2. How can I remove the number row on the top of the stock samsung keyboard? Like the one in the S3 that does not have a number row at the top. I prefer not having the number row.
Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
So you want an iPhone keyboard : | . Just install ai.type keyboard and an ios 7/8 theme for ai.type . then personalize the keyboard and there you have it
I want to keep the stock keyboard.. i just want to remove the number row in it. And also disable the keys from displaying lowercase keys.

i dont think it is possible, maybe another keyboard is the only way
You cant do those things trough the stock keyboard configuration. Get used to it or try a different keyboard.
Not possible bro .. At least from what i know ...
You came from the iPhone huh? I can tell lol. Try experimenting with new stuff! There's a ton of better options vs the Samsung keyboard. Google Keyboard is my personal favorite. If you know how, you can make that thing look like any keyboard you want lol.

Samsung Keyboard Alternate Characters Response

Anyone notice that the alternate characters on the Samsung keyboard is slow to respond? It works fine, I just find myself having to long press longer to get the alternate character. Causes me to make mistake quite often.
My Note 5 & Note 2 werenxt (<- see) this slow to respond. Anyway to remedy this? I've been comparing with my Note 5 & on the Note 8 itxs definitely slower to respond.
Yeah, it's pretty strange that Samsung doesn't include an option to adjust the response time like you can on third party keyboards. I'd suggest just trying out SwiftKey or others because it can definitely get annoying not getting the special key you want as fast as you want. Champagne problems, I know, but still. It's annoying, nonetheless.
EDIT: As you can see from the attached photo, SwiftKey (which I'm using) has this option but the stock Samsung keyboard does NOT offer it. Shame.
Yeah, same here. I like the Samsung keyboard because when apply a theme the keyboard is included. However, the special character problem plus the auto correct being so bad, I may have to switch.
Same here I like the Samsung keyboard because of it's features, the spen integration is the main one. Themes is also another.
I think I found a fix. Not sure if it's just in my head but it seems like it's ok now & I haven't made a mistake yet since the change. I disabled swipe to type. Well actually I changed it to cursor control, that's how I had it set on my N5. It makes sense as maybe the keyboard is sensing that you may be attemtping to swipe to type a word & causes the delay.
Now to fix my space bar issue but that's just me & my stubby thumb. I keep hitting letters or the period instead of the space bar. Same issue on my N5 & with the N8 being longer it's not helping in landscape mode. Tried changing the keyboard size but then all the letters are too far apart.

The short spacebar on Samsung keyboards is the ONLY reason I have always used Gboard. Shame Samsung never revised it yet.
Like yourself I always hit period instead of space.

problems with stock keyboard and overlays

I am hoping someone can help me here. I use Substarum and Swift black to theme many aspects of my phone. But 3 updates ago to Swift black has left my keyboard practically unusable. Removing the theme has not corrected the issue: the keys are still blacked out to the point you can not see the letters and the keyboard is shifted to the left which makes it quite the pain to type on. I do not have any one handed operation enabled, and removing the substratum theme does not correct the issue. No amount of removing updates of the keyboard has corrected this issue either. I'm at a loss and have found a replacement keyboard, but I miss my stock keyboard and would like to get it back to working correctly so I can theme it again.
The issue does not seem to be with the theme, but rather an issue with the Samsung keyboard. The neutral Beta version of the keyboard does work, but is not able to be themed.
I appreciate any assistance in solving this issue.
I feel it is important to note that I am on 7.1.1 not oreo.
To answer my own question, somehow my dpi settings got changed in Developer settings to 457 instead of 455.
I changed it back and all is well!
