Guest thomasr83 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Sometimes the on screen keyboard popups by itself when something can be typed, and since I have a real QWERTY keyboard on my phone I never use the on screen keyboard. Is it possible to completly disable/remove the on screen keyboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IgwanaRob Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Yeah, I'd like to be able to stop this as well - it gets real annoying when IE opens up and this virtual keyboard takes up half the screen and I have to go and close it manually (it opens with nearly everything and is driving me nuts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It disappears when you start typing on your real keyboard. But it's still very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's still very annoying. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which means opening the keyboard and then typing something - cumbersome if all I'm trying to do is get to the favorites list, etc. I know you can permanently disable it all together, but I'd rather just stop it from automatically opening all the time.

Guest IgwanaRob Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 How do you disable it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's a discussion here, but it also disables all of the Soft Input Panels (not jus the keyboard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigo <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you read the discussion that IgwanaRob's talking about, it is actually just to start typing with your hardware keyboard, not closing the software keyboard yourself. Once you do that the software keyboard wont popup until you click on it. It seems to work pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pigo Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) .... untill you get another website with a blank space for typing.. then it pops up again... when you switch from a website to your messenger... it pops up again... YOU NAME IT!!!! I switch applications alot... so it's a big stress point for me. Pigo Edited April 7, 2006 by Pigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest billyb Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 There is a function in SKTools which allows you to disable any "input method" including the virtual keyboard. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest azimuth21 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Once a blank text area is selected, the software keyboard will pop up. Slide out the hard keyboard and type something/anything. The software keyboard will go away by itself. You can then slide the hard keyboard back in, and from then on, the software keyboard won't pop up automatically whenever a blank text area is selected (unless you open up the soft keyboard again) Edited January 29, 2009 by azimuth21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
