Smart Keyboard Forum

On the stock keyboard, you can hold the 123 key to switch between input methods. Would it be possible to do this on Smart Keyboard as well? I like to use the stock for longer typing, because I seem to have fewer typos with it, but Smart Keyboard for URLs and passwords where the long-press functionality is helpful. Being able to switch between the two quickly, without having to visit the Language and Keyboard settings, would be awesome.

I respectfully disagree with adding this application. Below is my reasoning:

1. ) I doubt Cycril could add this feature to the stock keyboard to jump to the SK. I would think that would require access to the SK code.
2.) Adding a feature to the SK to jump to the stock keyboard (but not vice versa) seems counter to the goal of getting people to use the SK.
3.) I think a better use of time is to improve the SK so you no longer want to use the stock one at all.

Just my opinion......

Respectfully, the stock keyboard already does this. I can long press on 123, and I get a menu asking to either A) change settings or B) choose a new input method, including Smart Keyboard. Cyril wouldn't need to add any code to the built-in keyboard at all.

Even if Smart Keyboard becomes as reliable as the Google keyboard, I'd still like to have this. There may be times that I want to switch to something like a T9 input, or Swype, for example, and I don't want to dig through the menus. Not having this feature right now actually means that I use Smart Keyboard less, because it's more of a hassle to switch back then it is to put up with the inadequacies of the stock version.

Hi
I could do this, but I don't understand why you would need to go the Language and Keyboard settings. You just need to long press in the text input box to have this menu, don't you ?

Oh, you're right! Fantastic! Never mind then, thanks Cyril!
