Default In Classic, what does "Switch Keyboard" do?

When I do the "Switch Keyboard" option, I see something different in the keyboard area, but I can't quite figure out what it is. What does this option do?

Also, what does the button that looks like a person do? It seems to act like the "Home" button.

When I do that, I see on top of the keyboard area the following keys:

Q, D, T, B, K, P, return, and the orange button.

I don't see a full keyboard. Am I supposed to?

It just shows you which key commands correspond to which on-screen buttons... I'm not sure if it allows the key commands, or if they're always active and just shows it to you.

just to revive this old thread


switch keyboard allows you to toggle between using the pre or pixi's keyboard as a D-pad or the hard keys ( Q, D, T, B, K, P, return, and the orange button) and using it the keyboard as an input device for letters...

is there a shortcut for this? i mean, so i don't have to flick thru preferences to get the switch keyboard.
