Is it possible to turn all the hold keys into FN instead?

So instead of holding q for 1 you hit FN then q to get 1

Just wondering because it'd be alot more user friendly for me and I'd assume others too.

Especially because of how small the keyboard is,

It'd let me hold the selector until I'm on the right key, while still having the keys be able to easily have a 2nd function.

I know I could change the hold timings so that it takes longer to select the 2nd function keys, but then when I do want to type one of the 2nd function keys it'll take a long time

1. Same for me : you have to go to the options windows, validate it and then the install window will close itself.

2. Same for me. :mad:

And impossible to switch T9 on/off like with HTC keyboard neither.

3. Same for me. :(

So, a beautiful keyboard, but I think I'm going to uninstall it, especially because of point 2. :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tatsch:
Workaround for point 2: Type the beginning of the name, then "Backspace", the names appear.

But I deinstalled FKB, additionally there were issues with typing the space-button when WM menu bar is hidden in landscape mode. Unuseable :(

Poor FingerKeyboard. Some times ago, it was a very good tool.

First of all, I wanted to say great job!

I am using it on my HTC Topaz, and I must say - it is far more better than the stock one!

The only problem I encountered so far is the SMS Name suggestion. Yes it works, but somehow weird. It suggests names only if after I type some letters and press a backspace. Isn't it weird? I tried installing T9 Disable patch, nothing really changed.

Yes, I have SMS name suggestion ticked in the options.

Any idea what is it happening?

I'm afraid 146 pages is a bit to much to read though so i'm just gonna ask.. is there any screenshot of all the skins? there's so many lovely I dont know which to choose.. it's really icing on the cake for the HD2 :) but isnt there a enter button for sending? when i sent SMS i had to go out of the keyboard and press "send"
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
I've asked about this option, but it is a bit complicated to let a button like enter send an sms. In FK2 options u can enable the windows bar, so you wouldn't need to make the keyboard disappear first to reach the send button.

Do you mean the skins originally being installed within FK2 installation? I have posted some screenshots in on German thread. Anyway , it should be enough to just the the screen ;)

http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-touch-pro-2/59387-mda-vario-v-experimente.html#post344163 Just scroll a little ;)

The other thing is all the other custom skins. I also modifying some skins, but for the German layout (look for the skins in my signature). It would be very helpful to have a special thread only for the custom skins :) Would someone start a thread like this and could some of the mods link it onto the first page of this thread?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] somebully:
Thank you! If only I paid attention to the german classes ;) I see you've done some great work :)

Is it possible to edit the layout? The buttons in norwegian version are pretty small, they have 3 unnecessary buttons to the right, "(" , ")" and "backspace" which results in all buttons being very thin.. the backspace could be placed next to space button as on other languages like english, while "(" and ")" could be an alternative on another button (like replacing "?!" I will never use it)

edit: found the skins map, maybe ill work it out :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
In the \Program Files\FingerKeyBoard\ on your device you will find an doc file "doc-about-skin-new.txt". There are many things listed about how to understand the skin file ;)

Farsi problem

Dear MrKaon

I need persian language for my Diamond VGA, Yours mentioned skin is for 480x800 resolution , can you help me

my ROM is Satus ROM R 2.0

thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] applefruit:
I've installed the landscape big key skin by replacing the original english skin. I wanted to keep the original skin for occasions when I need to have a less obstructed view.

So I renamed the original English skin file to skin-02-wvga-land-02-el1 and edited the starting part of the text file as below.

ResolutionBegin 800 480

LayoutBegin el1

Size 800 289

DisplayName EN1

After that I pasted the renamed original skin file to the skin folder. I went to f/kb configurator and selected el1 but when I reactivate the k/b, the el1 was not available for selection.

So long story cut short. My question is if you want to add(not replace) your custom skin, other then to create the skin and saving it to F/kb skin folder. What other thing do I need to do/update etc?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Its not available, because there are several skin-02-wvga-land-02 files now in the folder. Just rename ur file to skin-02-wvga-land-21-....txt (.... for your skin name like: skin-02-wvga-land-21-el1). ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] applefruit:
Thanks for your reply! I've changed the file name to skin-02-wvga-land-21-el1. But it still dosen't appear in the language toggle button. Prior to this, I've only enable one language(eng). I just tried to enable German and Rom just to test it. I noticed that I'm able to toggle the languages in portrait but not in landscape mode.... :confused: I'll try to compare the code for the toggle key for the landscape and portrait skin to see whether there is some discrepancy there....

Oh....find the reason. The person who edited the big key skin had coded the toggle button between numeric/alphabet only. After copy/paste from another skin file, I'm able to toggle between numeric/alphabet/languages! Now where I can find the original english landscape skin file? I've accidentally deleted mine.

V and B keys not working in Landscape

Great keyboard! I love the simple text file for creating new skins.

However, I've noticed one bug the V and B keys do not work in landscape mode with bottom bar hidden. The ability to remove the bottom bar is good, but you can't use that option since the V and B keys then don't work.

Anyone found a solution?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jchusted:

There is actually a workaround but not really a solution. You can edit the skin file to make the space button a way larger.

Hello!

I got little problem with Fingerboard.

The SMS name Suggestion doesn't work. When I want to type in name in the "to" field, he does not suggest people from my phonebook.

Of course I did Soft-Reset (even twice). I also tried to switch on X9 with normal keyboard. But it didn't work.

Would be really nice if you could help me, because I like Fingerboard more then the keyboard from manilia; but without the name suggestion, it is useless for me =(.

Hope you can help me!

Hey guys,

I got a small Problem with the Finger Keyboard:

When the keyboard is opened, it covers the bar at the bottom of the screen.

There normally is "close", "back" etc. and the keyboard "sign".

On the right side, there is a arrow which opens the keyboard options.

Now, when I am typing, the keyboard covers this field, but it is not disabled.

So for example when I am pressing "space" in landscape, it is likely that i press this option button instead of the space bar.

Did some other people got the same problem?

i guess you have the cab file. your problem is your winrar associated itself with cab files and you see that file as winrar icon and when you double click it winrar unpack the .cab file.make you sure that you have uncheck folder options the hide file extension for known file types. something like that.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
I do have the same problem. No solution for the moment :(

You have to copy the text and picture files in the FingerKeyboard Folder on your device like into "\Program Files\FingerKeyboard\Skins".

So some of you who are using FK with WM6.5. WM6.5 seems to have some changes in the structure so FK have to be updated to work well with the SMS name suggestion. It is the problem of FK and not of WM.

The are some other bugs that should be fixed. Is there any chance the FK project gonna move on?

great work Giannis86

is it possible to create landscape layout, just like portrait mode, but with bigger keys (without arrows, backspace on bottom, etc.)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] apsis:
Go to Programs --> Fingerkbd. Config -->Options--> Portrait or Landscape (as if you wish) and choose "show bar". Apply that change and your done.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] babaq:
Hi, yes, I have the same problem.

Usually it doesn't matter but in case of "old fashioned bottom bars" full of icons etc. it does. E.g. in Total Commander, if I press the keyboard off switch on the FK in the bottom right corner, it presses the standard WM keyboard on/off switch instead since it is located in the bottom right corner of the TC bottom bar.

I know that I can switch FK to always show the bottom bar, but I prefer hide the bottom bar - the FK is quite high and it occupies a lot of space on my Diamond (which has common, not Wide display).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] playdo:
Many thanks apsis and babaq!

But I prefer, like babaq, that the bar is hidden.

It would be a big improvement, if the keyboard disables all icons of the bottom bar.

Maybe this could be fixed.

Until then, I will show the bar. Thanks to apsis!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] apsis:
Ya i prefer the hidden one to, cause it allows you to see way more text.But as long as it isnt fixed, i will keep it shown since its really annoying to me that the Inputsettings pop up all the time i'm writing a message.

How to uninstall?

Hi

I installed this version http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=487677

By mistake, because it is not working..I have tried to uninstall it as the thread says, but it is not working...

After "uninstall" I still have FingerKeyb as a option, and I can install a new version..says I have to uninstall the old version..

Help please!!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] babaq:
I was thinking about this problem once more and I have an idea :)

This problem only occurs in "old fashion" bottom bars (full of icons) - they are not used so much today (I only use two such apps - Handy Shopper and Total Commander). In case of those apps, it is probably needed to completely disable the bottom bar.

But what about new style bottom bars with just two "soft keys"? Is it possible to add new buttons to current layouts which would emulate left and right soft button?

Or maybe a new button to quickly show or hide bottom bar directly from the keyboard.

I like the "hide bottom bar" option since it leaves much more free space on the display. But sometimes it means a lot of switching - e.g. in SIM Toolkit I have to switch on the keyboard, switch to the numeric layout (to enter PIN to banking app), enter PIN, switch off the numeric keyboard, switch off the keyboard altogether, press the left soft key (OK). And it means too much switching :(

Gestures?

Hi,

I would like to use gestures like I do with the standard keyboard.

I do like to use my fingers in stead of the stylus, but without the gestures everything takes too long.

When using gestures we can get rid of the Shift an Enter buttons and the spacebar.

Also the arrows wouldn't be used much then...

Using gestures is a great speedboost. Not having to first click shift and then a letter to bet a Capital saves a lot of time....

greetz,

I dont know why all complaining about missing gestures. It takes me more time to slide or whatever instead of touch the space button.

I encountered the same problem. Used the FingerKeyboard a long time but it stops working from one day to another without a reason. Can't choose it manually and SIPChange doesn't work also. Tried to reinstall with no success.

Upgraded my Atom Life to bajok's WM6.5 ROM ( WM6.5.5.0 23515 WWE (COM5) ) and encountered the same problem right after fresh ROM installation. :(

Reinstalled again and tried using SIPChange, now FingerKeyboard is totally messed up, because it doesn't show up in the WM 6.5 keyboard dialog :confused:

I'm not sure what happened because FingerKeyboard made a good job for a long time ??!
