Is it that there's no on-screen keyboard?

[GummyDancer]

Is it that there's no on-screen keyboard from the TG-50? I just need it for chinese input as I am a Hong Kong user... Only I found is the graffity and the hardware keyboard:confused: ... Just to ask where would we locate the on-screen keyboard?

[A1CPete]

Go into a writing app, and the on screen keyboard is in the drop down menu.

[GummyDancer]

Well, I just tried that becuase i just followed what the instruction book saids. Just nothing happens... and that worked on my T665c??? What happened to my TG50? Oh.. it's too bad!!!:eek: :(

[s_n_m]

You must have did it wrong. It certainly is there.

[GummyDancer]

I am sure that nothing I do is wrong to launch the on-screen keyboard becuase I tried it with my T665.

This is the procedure on wt i did:
1) Go into any text inserting program (Memo Pad)
2) Click New/into my old memos
3) Click into the menu where is written as 'Memo x of x' then go to edit, then click Keyboard

That's what I do and nothing comes out but only a sound of 'beep'


:confused: :confused: :confused: It doesn't seems that I am wrong.. is it that we need to do some sort of settings??? :( :( :(

If you use the Chinese OS, you have to evoke the Chinese keyboard by tapping Edit -> Keyboard, or the Command stroke (Ctrl-T) then press K.

Using CHOS to call the keyboard is not very convenient, that's why I've switch to use HandDragon 3.61a.

HandDragon can evoke the Chinese keyboard simply by double tapping the cursor. That solve your problem.

I too was frustrated that I could not use many
of my programs without graffiti...but I was led to Graffiti Anywhere and it solved it for me.

Thanks for you all's reply!!!

P.S. to ngwailung...
I think you meant PalmDragon right? and I did try that, but I will try once more becuase I just use the old version as my old T665c has the PalmDragon software... (because I just copied it to my TG-50 without d/ling the new OS5 version)

[ngwailung]

First of all, PalmDragon was renamed to HandDragon some months ago (it seems to be avoid the copyright issue in adopting the name 'Palm').

Second, you have to use version 3.6x for OS5 as the previous version is not workable on OS5.

Third, I have to tell you that 3.6x version does not yet support HKSCS characters. However, I still think HD worthy to be used since it has the feature of moving all (yes, all!) of the Chinese fonts and input methods to the memory stick, which saves your memory a lot. (Well, after some try I decided to leave 12 pt. and 16 pt. fonts in the memory, since the CLIE Launcher uses both these fonts frequently and leaving these two frequently used fonts in memory make my handheld much faster when using the launcher.)

Besides HKSCS support, the other drawback of HD is that you still cannot use the hardware keyboard to input Chinese characters even if you evoke the software keyboard layout on screen. CHOS can do this, though.

Overall speaking, I'm more satisfied in using HandDragon than CHOS. I think it's worthy for you to try.

oic... understand... but somethin bad is that coz if I use Chinese OS, I hv a privillage to register free coz is followed w/ my TG50 and now the HandDragon can't (I got a register code before for my T665)... but still hv a long way to go... (45days free for me)

Simultaneously hit the control and 4/R keys

It seems that Ctrl-R would evoke Graffiti help, not on-screen keyboard.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[TreoRenegade]

Just doublechecked (again) to be absolutely sure. Control-R/4 pops up the keyboard, but only if you're in a text editing screen. In other words, if you're at the main, say, ZLauncher screen, it does nadda.

CTRL+R brings up the keyboard if:

1) You're in a state where the keyboard is appropriate

2) You set it up in Prefs->Buttons->Pen then select Keyboard from the dropdown
