Hi,
I would like to use a T9 keyboard as my cover screen keyboard, as if I use a QWERTY it's so dang hard to type correctly, even with auto correct.
It's fine for the main screen inside.
Does anyone know of a way to use two keyboards (or a keyboard that has T9/QWERTY as an selectable option?)
I'm also looking for similar solution but for switching between qwerty. I want samsung keyboard on folded and gboard on internal.
Bixby routines dont support changing keyboard but may be automate/tasker can run scripts?
there is adb command to change default keyboard.
"adb shell ime set ID"
*ID can be obtained from "adb shell ime list"
I use tasker to achieve this, also to set a specific keyboard to a specific app depending on the status of the fold. (Hacker keyboard for terminal / termux app if unfolded etc)

could you share how you get the status of the fold in tasker please?
Logcat Entry
DisplayFoldController
isLidFolded=true
When folded
And isLidFolded=false when unfolded.
Use it to set a variable which you can use to check when changed to set a keyboard using default_input_method in secure settings.

this does not work for me anymore on One UI4 (beta) on Fold3
You can try using profile-state-system-global-"edge_panel_width"
(The width value is different for folded and unfolded. )

I do quite a bit of number entering into spreadsheets and it is quite a pain to have to change to the number pad in my keyboard (Swype) each time I go to a new line (DocsToGo excel sheets) is there .. or can I easy write a Keyboard that defaults to a calculator like number pad so I can just switch keyboards when I am going to do excel sheets and not have to select on every line.
searches in the market have come up empty.
there is an app on the market called numberpad keyboard by a guy named Matt F might be what you are looking for its $3.99
thanks for the suggestion but I would love to have the + = and such if I'm gonna spend money on it.
Have you tried GoKeyboard?

Use the Samsung keypad thats on the phone, it has that kind of keypad

Hacker Keyboard - 5 rows portrait mode will always show numbers at the top row - a little tiny though.
Perfect Keyboard - in compact mode, the 123 button will switch to a large numpad layout, or choose split layout, which always displays (small) numpad in the center area. Available in Lite mode, which is pretty good already.
Those who like the stock Android keyboard should give Perfect Keyboard a try for more customization.
I have been trying most of these ... but my issue is that each work on the assumption that you "normally" want to enter text with letters and so therefor start with that as the keys. My hope is to get it to always default to a Calculator view (optimally in one application and in a layout just like the "123" in swype)
I appreciate the suggestions I have started down the rabbit hole of writing my own keyboard setups... or maybe I can change a setting that allows the default to change with some sort of terminal cmd.
I'm under the impression that GoKeyboard can be set to default either screen. T9, # pad, or letters. If not its just a swipe to the left. ??

I will get in there and play with it a bit more thanks for the info.
I love the one hand input keyboard on the Note 2; however, more often than not I am able to use two hands even in portrait mode. Is there a way to put a one hand toggle either in the notification bar toggles, or directly on the keyboard?
Currently I am having to click the settings button on the keyboard, then settings, then one hand input. In order to turn it on and off. By the time I do all this I could have fumbled my way around with one hand and written my message or URL.
Any tips on how to customize the toggles or keyboard to add this feature?
Using a third party launcher to create a custom shortcut (i personally like Nova) would probably be the easiest way

Can I create a shortcut that toggles the one hand input on and off? I know how to make shortcuts to folders and apps etc...
I am currently using Go Launcher if that helps.
So far I have been unable to find a way to make tasker do this as well.

Pinch the keyboard ,you can toggle your small keyboard and large keyboard.
Nexus 7 2013 & 4.4.4
Have installed Hacker's keyboard & prefer it as it is more like a real keyboard with a numeric top row & arrow keys & escape key. Cannot change the default keyboard even if the settings claim that it did; even disabled the Google keyboard & it still won't be done.
With the Google keyboard, even changed the advanced setting to allow different input method & selected Hacker keyboard BUT the Google keyboard remain stuck.
Interesting thing is that I have the System Panel installed as the task manager; the SP showed/named the Google keyboard as an ASUS keyboard! Gather it is the same but does the name change mean that the ASUS keyboard is hard coded somewhere?
Read popup keys can't be done on the tablet but I just want to use the Hacker's keyboard if it can be done on the Nexus 7. Am using the Hacker's keyboard on 3 other tablets.......
I use Hacker's Keyboard on my Nexus 7 with no problems. Make sure that it's selected as your default input method, and tap-and-hold in a text input area so the Input Method box pops up, then select Hacker's Keyboard.

THANKS! I've only used the Hacker's keyboard in landscape mode on the Tab 2 & the A700 & Nook HD+ have a larger screen so that the numeric keys showed up in portrait mode. Your reply of using a keypress worked with doing it on the keyboard as it popped up the numerics & when in the numerics a long keypress popped up what one would get when doing a shift+numeric key as in the "&".
Guess I didn't try hard enough & should have tried both portrait & landscape mode for keyboard visualization. I am at that age that is quite cluttered & maybe solidified so ideas have a hard time to sink in.
I have both the GMD gesture and GMD spen control apps. Great apps but I have some issues with spen control on the note 10.1 2014 edition.
The main issue I'm having is when I use a custom gesture which has an enclosed loop eg a letter "O" or "D" type shape, the capture screen pops up which is what its meant to do on a stock device but there is a setting that allows GMD to override samsung's defaults which obviously isn't working. All other non enclosed shapes eg "S" or "C" type shapes work fine. I'm also having enough forced soft boots to be annoying.
So my questions for GMD spen control users on the 2014 edition tab.
1. Does anyone have a custom gesture which has an enclosed loop that actually works eg "B, D, P, R" type shapes or aren't I meant to have them?
2. Is there a way to disable this capture screen outside this app?
3. Has anyone had any forced soft reboots running this app?
I forgot to mention that I'm using Hyperdrive custom rom but I don't think that's the problem as all spen features work perfectly
Got my Gemini on Saturday and just working my way around it.
Was looking at shortcuts for the Gemini Keyboard and found the documentation, however all shortcuts are a combination of a key labelled ? (magnifying glass) plus another key.
For the life of me I cannot find the key that is supposed to be the magnifying glass.
Anyone know which key this is supposed to be
Thanks in advance

I think those docs are for generic android with a keyboard; google has been pushing putting a "search" key directly onto keyboards.
The gemini shortcuts are mostly the "Fn" key plus another, which should be labelled. e.g. on mine (UK kbd):
ESC: "back" key, or hold down for "Power"
Fn+ESC: "power"
Fn+D: Android "home" key (desktop, not to be confused with traditional editing "home" key)
Fn+A: Android "recent" key (App switcher)
Alt+Tab: App switcher (standard android binding)
Fn+C: Volume down
Fn+V: Volume up
Fn+B: Brightness down
Fn+N: Brightness up
Fn+Alt: Phone app
Fn+Del: Settings
Fn+T: Mute microphone
Fn+R: Screenshot
etc.
Hope I am not hijacking this thread, but continued question about Fn usage
How does one get all the "strange" characters from the keyboard?
By strange, I mean stuff like "{}[]`/" and similar ones.
From the keyboard looks (symbols imprinted at the bottom of the key) I assumed its a combo of Fn+symbol, but it doesn't work.
I am using US keyboard layout and set to use Gemini keyboard as input method.

Did you figure this out? I'm trying to find that out now too.
It is [Fn] +'/ ' to bring up the symbols keyboard and you can select them from there. {}[]℅™®©¥¢√π∆~ etc...
Function key

When you use the Gemini Keyboard app to configure the Gemini US English layout there is actually one more step it seems. Once you've gone through the setup you should receive a notification to configure your keyboard. Select this and select the Gemini keyboard and you will be good to go. I ignored the notification for a while, believing it was prompting me to go through the setup process again but that was not the case.
Hope this helps.
