standard keyboard features

Post by danielseeksGod »

hey, on my physical keyboard for the samsung epic 4g, i can do the following things when not using your keyboard:

1. press fn, then press backspace, to delete a line
2. paste/copy/cut/select all: Menu+v/c/x/a

but your keyboard doesn't allow any such functions, is there anything you can do?

thanks!

um another thing I noticed about your keyboard app is that you can't insert smilies

like if I type:

something :)

on the keyboard, spaces included, this comes out:

something: )

because it automatically thinks the : is for grammar. that is good and useful but is there a way to disable that? lol, thanks

Interaction with the physical keyboard is complex, as each phone has some specific functions.. Hopefully physical keyboard support will improve over time

yes, disable "swap punctuation" option (it's off by default). Or just use the smiley key! (long press on enter key)

thank you but that also disables the good automatic replacements. will you please make it an option to automatically just disable the colon? :
