Virtual keyboard when in Landscape mode??

[kloan]

I've read just about every freakin review I can find, and NONE of them mention if the virtual graffiti area shows up in Landscape mode!

Let's say I've got an excel file open, and it's in landscape mode and I need to type something in a cell, would the virtual keyboard show up at the bottom or on the side?

Someone please let me know. I just won a T3 on eBay and I'm really curious to know how this works. The NX73V I have currently shows up sideways and I'm not a fan.

hmm, that sucks!

is there add-on software that would be a keyboard at the bottom?

Maybe you could find a DA (Desk Accessory) that would do the job, but the problem with the bottom keyboard is most of the screen would be taken up. The normal virtual graffiti takes up 160 pixels high, and that would leave you with only 160 pixels left, which is not much room. I can't think of anything right now, but there may be a DA around somewhere (Or if not someone might make one in the near future). The task is not too difficult, but I can't imagine it being in high demand because of its low usability due to the size restraints.

Yup. Would make more sense on a VGA device. Personally, you should probably just use the G2. It's not hard.

i just rethinks about keyboard and lanscape mode or portrait !!!

if you use virtual keboard on both lamdscape or portrait the screen size will be the same because the virtual keyboard take 160X320and the screen is 320X480 or 480X320 so with the keyborad open the total of screen will be 320X320 in the both mode :(
use a wireless keyboard insted :D

Can this keyboard work for kloan on the T3? I only have a TE2 so I don't know about 320 x 480 displays:

Yes, I believe it works (I tried it or something very similar before -- I'm not going to reinstall it to see if it still works), but it's not really the same kind of thing. This takes over the whole screen to allow you to type using your thumbs and uses a textbox/import system, so you can't see the original screen. The best option (Which hasn't been created yet, by the way) would be a semi-transparent DA keyboard that can be moved around the screen. BUT it does not exist as far as I know.
