Is there any method or trick for the same? If 'yes' then please do enlighten me, since it's very cumbersome touching the back button using fingers when working on the phone particularly when using it with the S-Pen only.
Thanks!
press the s-pen button and draw a '^' to get menu and a "<" to go back.

EVERY time i use the keyboard for writing a text message my left index finger accidently touches the power button, turns of the phone and discards my halfway written message.
Wouldnt it be great if the power button could only be pressed if the keyboard was closed? Anyone have a solution ?
ditto
glad to know I'm not the only one having this problem...
I saw this problem raised b4 before I had a touch pro 2. Now I see it raised again.I now have the device and I dont know how your finger comes in contact with the power button. I am only small though 5'6 so maybe my fingers are not big enuff to make this happen.
+ if you accidently switch off just tap the power button and your work should still be there.
I'm having the exactly opposite problem: While in keyboard mode it is very difficult to use the power button. If the device turns into standby I have to press a multiple times to hit the right angle toget a responce from the TP2. After all, I never once accidently hit the power button when using the keyboard.
I have the same problem! Really annoying...
same here this is a pain! your left finger nearest your thum catches it sometimes dosent it!
any regedit update or hack??
any one.... i have had a look and killed my fone a few times testin it... drivin me crzy
Same issue here, when I hold the device with the keypad out I keep ik between my 2 index fingers while typing with my thumbs.
The middle segments of my left index finger is exactly on the power button, and the phone goes standby or does not respond on the keystrokes of the keypad and seconds later (3) it pop's-up a "do you want to power down the device now" question.
Would love a tweak that disables the power button when the keyboard is sliced out.
Same problem here! would love a solution, though i don't have one... You could train yourself not to put your left index finger on that power button perhaps...
Exactly as Zaleo describes, I have the very same problem. Trying to teach my self not to rest my fingers up that far but not always that easy.
Could AEButton or HButton perhaps do this by remapping the power button to 'nothing' but only on the condition that the keyboard is slid open?
I have written a script that will achieve this.
It is pretty basic - I am no expert.

I've had this problem on every iteration of CM7 thus far where occasionally after entering my message, whether in a text message or search engine, the keyboard will stay maximized rather than disappearing as it normally would. The only way I can get rid of it is to press back and reenter my search or exit by pressing the home key and then navigate back. Anyone else encountered this?

try pressing t and then swiping down. you need to press for about half a second before swiping. also try holding the menu key.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well at that point he'd have to press back, because long pressing the key brings up the keyboard; unless I interpreted it incorrectly.

not a long press. about half a second. then swipe your finger down to the spacebar. the keyboard will disappear on stock gb kb. or just hold the menu button. it will also disappear.
I have replaced the screen on my Optimus G (E975k, Telstra) and the menu button works whilst the back is off, but as soon as I put the back on, the menu button doesn't work... super annoying!
I'm not sure if my clumsy attempts to replace the screen have damaged the synaptics ribbon and the cover going on puts pressure in the right spot to stop the ribbon cable making the connection for that button or what, but I'm looking for help getting around this.
Is there a way to make longpress on back arrow to open the menu, if so then 90% of my problems are solved, I can force the onscreen nav buttons to show up and that is great but it seems like a waste of space if I can work around it with a back button long press... I tried a few key remapping apps but they do not seem to be able to do what I want to do... if there is a custom rom that would support this then I would just flash that I guess.
Anyway, help from anyone would be appreciated
Thanks
EDIT: Okay so I edited /system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8064.kl
changed
Key 115 VOLUME UP
to
Key 115 MENU VIRTUAL
This allows me to use the volume up button as the menu button, so I'm out of trouble, but I would still like to map back button long press to the duty rather than lose my volume up button.
Hey man, if ur on stock i think u can use xposed modules for long press behaviors and custom button actions.. Usr gravity box etc.. If u like custom rom, many offer custom button actions

Hold down the HOME button and the POWER button. The HOME button is on the front of the phone at the bottom, the POWER button is on the right side of the phone.
Alternatively, using the Stylus pen, click the button on top of the Stylus once and then long press on the screen. Using this method also allows you to crop or draw on the screen capture.

when i try to use the keyboard with my S Pen, certain keys won't press.. i have to press them a few times before it registers... but, the key button highlighter 8s triggered, so it knows it's been pressed just nothing appears. Any ideas
