It's the worst damn feature on android. I googled it up and it seems the only cheap fix is going with a sub par keyboard.
Would it be possible to request for a mod that makes this universal for all keyboards?

Get SwiftKey from Google Play .. this version allows you the change the size of the keys

This does not stop the keyboard from going fullscreen.
I agree this is very annoying. I just made the leap from iOS to Android to get a larger screen. Now I have a larger screen and a darn keyboard takes up the whole screen?
Just seems counter productive.
Hope google changes this soon.

I use thumb keyboard, in settings there's the "suppress fullscreen windows" option just for that.

Works great thanks! Was using swiftkey but not any more.

Not really sure why people think that the SwiftKey devs did any meaningful work with the Note II keyboard. In my opinion, it is garbage in comparison and offers no basic functionality beyond SwiftKey 3. It's a real shame you lose S pen support using an alternative keyboard. Do you really prefer the default keyboard? There is no way I can write anywhere as fast as I can text with basic SwiftKey 3. Thoughts?

The one thing I love about the stock keyboard is the 4th row number keys. Wish I could get that on swift key.

+1... exactly what I think...
Yes, the number row counts for something, no doubt, but when I'm wailing away at the keyboard, it is normally to hit letter keys, and not numbers, as good as it is. Simiarly, there are obvious benefits to a hardware querty keyboard, but will few will buy one despite the utility. Now, I say this as someone who doesn't spend a great deal of time working in spreadsheets. Something like that is something I could imagine skipping plain SwiftKey for. What do you use a number row for?

I dont think you get it. Moving the special characters onto an additional row of keys, so I dont have to toggle to another keyboard +being able to hit the numbers on the same screen +swype on the same keyboard... all adds up. Now, if I could change two things; spacebar to autocorrect and being able to edit the keyboards user dictionary, that would be perfection.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about, the space bar and the auto complete/correct. To me, that IS SwiftKey. If I have to reach up for every word, that is not swift and I could definitely do without it. Considering what you said, if the only influence that SwiftKey had in the Samsung keyboard is the "learning" phase, how is it learning anything if you have to select your words manually and can't change the dictionary?
Before I had the Note 2 I used swift key on all my phones. However with the Note I've been using Swype for the 1st time and love it. So much so I've removed swift key. Swype is nice when you're one handing this beast and is the only reason I even tried using it in the 1st place. I've also found it to be really intuitive. Once swift key have their version of Swype up and running I'll give it another shot.

given that the Samsung keyboard swipe feature is called swift key Flow (also the name of their new beta coming out soon), I'd Say, yes

Like I said, if they can't get the basic functions, such as auto complete in there, it's not SwiftKey for me. Glad you love it the way it is.

So I have started trying to learn the Swype keyboard. So far it feels like more of a gimmick than a see serious attempt to make a dent in the keyboard market, but I am open to accepting my inexperience as a important factor.Do you guys find you are actually faster with this keyboard? I do plan on continuing to practice day to day, and I accept that I may have spoken to soon.

I still prefer to type with both hands, then again, I find the stock samsung keyboard good enough that it's my daily driver (although i wish the auto correct kicks in automatically... I don't have time to type and then click on the auto correct, just auto correct when i move to the next word).
I only use the swipe keyboard when i'm using 1 handed or the s pen as regular typing should be done with 2 hands. I did come from a sensation so, i was used to their trace keyboard

I had the same problem not liking the lack of space bar for autocorrect until I realized it was the same distance to hit the autocorrected word vs the spacebar. Once I broke that habit swiftkey and swype were forgotten about. Typing on mispelled words to autocorrect em has been nice on the stock sammy keyboard.

Once I became comfortable with Swype I found that I'm much faster and proficient with it than finger pecking. It took me about a day to really start liking it. Prior to the Note 2 I never used Swype, I also viewed it as a gimmick. Now I absolutely love it!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
The new swiftkey function with the spacebar seems nice, just wish they would separate the number keys at the top like on the stock keyboard. Once the new swiftkey comes out I will probably give it a try again.
I've noticed that there are places where the Swype keyboard isn't inserting spaces after words, such as in the dolphin browser. Is this a glitch or just me?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Does anyone have suggestion for a keyboard that autocorrects? (maybe the stock android keyboard?) I'm running Jedi but the autocorrect doesn't automatically replace the mis-spelled words I have to manually click on the suggestion, and it doesn't come with the stock keyboard.
Jelly bean keyboard pro. Working good for me. With auto correct.

Stock aosp keyboard is the way to go. Google android 4.2 keyboard apk and just install it like any other app.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Another option would be SwiftKey 3 which is on sale right now. I was a little bit hesitant to buy a keyboard when the stock one was so good. However, the auto correct was a big deal for me. You're right in that the others have to be manually selected. Even more so, if you accidentally start the word with a number, it then has no idea. However, with SwiftKey, everything is good to go. I am actually able to type without even looking. Part of this is due to skill at typing in general but the rest of it is how amazingly accurate the correction is. Just my two cents.

SwiftKey is a great keyboard and time saver. Been using it since the original beta.

Swiftkey is great and its prediction is near telepathic once you've used it a while and it learns from you. I have been using Swiftkey Flow lately and I like having the option to "swype". The only gripe I have is that there is no separate line for numbers. Having to long-press or change the layout to numerical really slows things down, especially at work.
4.2 keyboard.
Which one do you guys use?

The best I've ever used ; Swiftkey.
I tried a lot, but I always go back to Swiftkey. Smoot, beautiful, amazing predictions, separated layout in landscape mode... It makes typing very fast and easy !

SwiftKey Flow.
It works better for me than Swype or stock, although I admit, I have not used Swype in a while, so this may not be a fair assessment.
SwiftKey frustrates me, though, because it refuses to recognize any semi-vulgar words (even stuff like "sucks") and certain contact names (ex. Hayden). I've tried everything I could think of, and I've emailed the developer, but no luck. This did not happen during the SwiftKey Flow trial, which is why I switched from stock to SwiftKey paid version to begin with.
I'm actively awaiting Minuum. It looks very promising.

This one called MessagEase http://www.exideas.com/ME/index.php (you can also look it up on the Play Store). It's great because it doesn't rely on text prediction and uses big and easy to press keys. I can easily type one-handed and I don't need to look at the screen any more to type.
It's a big change, that 90% of the people are not willing to do but I couldn't be happier with it. Been using it for about 3 months now and I'm typing faster than on my old Xperia Pro's hardware slide-out keyboard – about 65 wpm now.

On my 8.4 I've noticed an annoying bug. First of, I think the Samsung keyboards gesture input is terrible so I installed the Google keyboard but now I cannot see any gesture trails in portrait nor do numbers show up if I long press on the top row. The functionality works but the visuals are not there which is weird. All is fine in landscape.. Ideas?

I'm experiencing the same issue. I installed SwiftKey to get around the problem, but I much prefer the google Keyboard if possible.
Glad it's not just me. I'm also experiencing plenty of crashes on stock. Of random apps.
