Landscape regardless of system auto-rotate on/off

[aidanw]

Feature request please -

For SKP to automatically switch to landscape when the phone is rotated, regardless of the system auto-rotate setting.

Reason:
I leave "auto-rotate" set to "Off" (i.e. portrait) because it saves a lot of battery life. I guess the sensor doesn't need to be active so much or something
However I like using the keyboard in landscape when I've got both hands free (portait T9 at other times, like walking down the street).

To use landscape I have to enable the system auto-rotate setting, use the keyboard in landscape, and then disable the setting again.
Ideally, SKP could detect rotation just while it the keyboard was active. I'm sure this would have to be a setting as perhaps there aren't many people that would like this?

Thanks!

To add to this - you can use a great app called Smart Rotator (https://market.android.com/details?id=n ... .rotator_t) that auto rotates by app.

However adding Smart Keyboard Pro to this list doesn't trigger rotation when the keyboard is used, only when the settings are open (this makes sense).
So you have to add your Messaging app to the list but then this rotates even when you're not typing.

It IS a workaround though - just in case anyone reading this wants a quick fix.
