[Q] Hardware key for typing language?

Hello!
i use two languages when typing and since we have a hardware keyboard i would like to ask if there is a hardware key to change between those two languages that i use...i am on CM 6.1.1 currently!

Maybe i didnt phrase it correctly..
I meant,is there a way to switch between languages from the hardware keyboard?
Because having to close the hinge, rottate the phone to on screen keyboard and then switch, to go up and pull out the keyboard again..

Perhaps look into using one of the quick keys into being a toggle?

Nevermind, found it ... select an unassigned quick key, select continue, select settings, select language and keyboard settings.
It won't act as a toggle (without programming a script and installing it) but it'll let you jump between the two via the HW keyboard

nothing happens with this, it just lets u select which languages u wanna use on the osd keyboard..

Just fyi...in sense roms the language switch is the magnify lense button (long press) that switches betweeen the selected languages...still struggling to find anything similar for CM roms though :/

Hi..I run into question like this before...kind of annoying little issue
One less hassle way to switch is long press(same as what you do when try to select text for copying) the text box then a a tiny window will pop up for input method option. in there you can change your input method so you hardware keyboard can be used for other input method.
And if the second language input happen to be Chinese. Suggest you use sogou input.
You only have to long press the text box once and switch to sogou input...and it has build in english mode so you can just use shift+space to taggle between sougo english/chinese mode.

[Q] Way to easily change the keyboard?

Hey there,
I was used to changing the keyboard easily by long-pressing any text-input possible screen area and then selecting the desired keyboard.
Now I have to go all the way to the settings and change the default keyboard to the one i want to use at the time.
Is there any way to change this in a smoother way?
Cheers

Some keyboards support long pressing space (i think), other way is to select a text field and then pull down notification bar and select the "select input method" there.
/Edit:
Stock Keyboard support longpressing space, SwiftKey X does not

Yes...the notification bar seems to be the way...hmm still preferred the old way

How do I change keyboards?

This is getting annoying!
I've installed Smart Keyboard PRO, and I am unable to select this as the default keyboard.
Usually I long press in a text box to select an alternative keyboard but it is not working. Any ideas?

Go into settings, language and keyboard to activate your other keyboard.
Then when using the normal keyboard you can swipe down from status bar and select input method.
Hope this makes sense.

i had already activated but didn't know to swipe down!
thanks a million

for you
First, install the keyboard and enable it in keyboard settings (slide to "on").
Second, when you are actually typing in a textbox of some sort, there should be a keyboard notification up at the top of the screen - if you select it, it will let you choose input, and you can select which keyboard to use.
Smart Keyboard Pro is fantastic for typing but horrible for predicting/fixing mistakes
Don`t forget to push thanks

Just curious while we're at this subject, I find the stock HTC keyboard in HOX to be weak in predicting as well. Have seen Galaxy Nexus's stock ICS keyboard instead and would prefer that.
Is there a way I can use the stock ICS keyboard on HOX? If yes, how can I download the stock ICS keyboard and install for use?

Setting > Language & Input > Google Keyboard setting > (check) Popup on Keypress
then u can go to advance setting and change popup delay
:good:

You can't enable pop-ups for tablets. I assume it's a design decision because the keys are that much bigger.

That option is not present on tablets...
Is there any other way to enable this...?

Having this same issue I really prefer to have the popup. Any way to enable this?

Only solution is another keyboard app that supports it. Try swiftkey, I use that for my tablet.

[Q] |I miss RETURN key on the MildWild keyboard

Hi Mildwild,
Thank you for your rom. very nice and working very good.:good:
I just have 2 questions:
- when I write a text message, I like (like for example in this message) to go to the next line. But I can not find a "return" button on the virtual keyboard. Is it possible to change the keyboard layout so that I can have it
- When SMS is long, I like to retract the virtual keyboard (but also everywhere I need to see the whole screen). But I do not see the button that allows to do this. Do you have a solution?
Thanks by advance for your response
Regards
Laurent

Have a look in the keyboard settings. If it's not already built in, Mildwild won't update the ROM or keyboard just to include this. Easier solution would be to install another keyboard
- When SMS is long, I like to retract the virtual keyboard (but also everywhere I need to see the whole screen). But I do not see the button that allows to do this. Do you have a solution?

I thought in most situations the back button does this already? You don't see it because it's not on the screen, try the hardware key
