HTC IME keyboard... wide spacebar

Hey guys... I'm using the version of the HTC IME keyboard that is included in Calkulin's rom (which is great), but it has a divided spacebar with a ".com" on half of it.
I used to use an HTC IME keyboard on another device that had a wide spacebar, with no ".com" on it, and I am wondering if anyone could kindly point me in the right direction for that keyboard that would be compatible with the E4GT. I keep hitting the ".com" when I'm trying to space.
Thanks for the help!
Smart keyboard, better keyboard or ai keyboard (to my knowkedge). You can adjust the size and length and the keyboard
Thanks guys. I actually started using the ICS keyboard and I'm really liking it.

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?

changing input method on the fly

Is there anyway to change inputs methods on the fly so to speak? in my galaxy and galaxy s2 a long press would being up a menu and u would be able 2 change the input method by that but i have noticed that on the gs3 it doesnt give you that option. am i just missing something in the settings? the main reason i ask is b/c i manly use swype but sometimes with longer messages ill use the better keyboard and its kind of a hassle 2 have 2 go into settings and change it back and forth. thank you
I'm on stock S3 and also mainly using swype. I've noticed that while the swype keyboard is open, you can change the input method by pulling down on the notification bar. It's not as convenient as simply holding a button but since you're already texting and the keyboard is open, it's only an extra step to access on the fly.

thank you for that info, sewhuy! Adding that it indeed is there in the notification area no matter what your default keyboard is. I'm now doing this to change between SwiftKey and LastPass.....it's things like this that i hope they really focus on and improve in key lime pie .....long press in the text box indeed would be the best solution.
This Rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748818
has the mod that allows you to change input methods on the fly...
The rom is awesome, please check it out!

Need Help!! With Keyboard Long Press - Google Keyboard

I'm trying to figure out how to get the stock keyboard to show long press keys behind the main characters. TWRP has a stock looking keyboard with long presses available and a few roms have stock keyboard with long presses showing up as well on the stock keyboard. Is there some setting im missing or is there a custom google keyboard apk I can install? Any help would be appreciated, id love to not have to toggle between the multiple levels of the keyboard to find question marks etc.
using the keyboard right now and i don't think there is an option for that. then again the scheme is straight forward in my opinion. long pressing a letter leads to variants of that very letter (e.g. æãåāàáâä). exception to that rule is the top row, which additionaly has the shown numbers as longpress-default. other commonly used special characters can be accessed by using the period-key.

Tab S4 physical keyboard problem

Hey guys,
I bought this tablet yesterday along with the official case with keyboard. The keyboard has the Portuguese Layout, however everytime I press special characters such as "ç", Android show me completely different characters. I made sure that Portuguese is the default language for everything in Settings.
Did anyone have this problem? Is there any way I can remap the keyboard?
Thanks
If you want to change the language to Portuguese Br, or other go in Settings, Language and input, physical keyboard and change it from Portuguese to Brazilian.
You'll be able to use the keyboard by going on the Physical Keyboard settings and define the keyboard layout as English International. However, I still could not get the ' to work with c, a and e.
Hi guys,
Since I updated the tablet to Android 9, I'm no longer able to switch between keyboards when the physical keyboard is paired. Is anyone else facing this issue? In Dex mode, the issue is even worse, as none of the other keyboards I have installed in my system is available!
Update: If the option "keyboard on screen" in the keyboard menu is checked, I'm able to switch between them. One issue less. Still need to understand why Dex is no longer allowing other keyboards to run (they are stated as "unavailable" for Dex mode).
Were you ever able to resolve the issue? I just got my S4 and keyboard and this is driving me crazy

No problem in either mode as long as you set the keyboard layout correctly. For me it's Spanish because mine is a Spanish keyboard
