How to force keyboard open?

PrinceAlbert · 07/10/2011, 08:35 AM

when using Log me in to control another PC, I cannot type on the remote PC since I cannot get the keyboard to appear.

Any idea how to FORCE the keyboard open?

Bluetooth keyboard works.

Perhaps you could open the windows vkb on the remote machine.

So other than the virtual keyboard issue, log me in works? I need to be able to use log me in for work if possible but didn't know it would work. If it does work but only with a bluetooth keyboard, then I'd be willing to get one.

I just got my TouchPad yesterday and love it. Don't really need it at the office but I discovered the ability to select one of my photo albums I loaded and set it on slideshow so I can enjoy favorite pics while I work! And the blink notifications alert me to an incoming email which is helpful, too. My pre plus also helps for that.

Perhaps there is a patch possibility out there for a "lock the keybord open" along side the lock the screen rotation option. I been able to use google docs and type a document. The keyboard opens on a first tap in a document, but if you close it, it can't be reopened without closing and reopening the document.

Or even just a simple patch for a series of presses to the home button to launch the keyboard? Ie double or triple taps? Or bringing up the keyboard via a custom swipe? Two finger swipe up brings up the keyboard?

I second the motion for a gesture to open the virtual keyboard. Thanks.

I third that motion!

that would be cool if we can start a Xterm session with no keyboard and then force a keyboard on (whilst it is needed) type amd then hide it again whilst Xterm maintaining Fullscreen.

I am all for a patch for this too. I really need to learn to code this stuff myself...

I concur! Gestures with the home button to activate and deactivate the keyboard regardless of the open program is something I'd like!
