You lost me? Do you mean to have the render more precisely match the 'staggering' of the key-grid, rather than the rectangular grid? If you mean if we can open and move the key-tops individually, then I doubt it, it is a 'mat'. So would require to cut this up, and rearrange. I doubt that would work well.

It is just a bug in the render, Just tested, it is on Fn+L as the yellow print in the keys says it should be. 😎

Well the 'dead key' accent is typed before not after. And it is Alt not Sym. Alt+E then E. gives é Alt+E then Shifit+E. gives É etc.

Force Landscape with Keyboard Open Bug
EskeRahn replied to Craig's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
He found out, see his review thread. 😉 -
Have a sneak view of the extra layouts he is experimenting with: https://android.onse.fi/finqwerty/pro1-test18.html

It is just like riding a bike, hard at first, but then super easy....

Yup. If you (when closed) try to push it parallel, it 'locks', but if you try to push it slightly DOWNwards you will see, that the back lifts up, and I guess that is what you do manually. You really only need a single thumb, and not a hard press at all, when you get the odd movement in your muscle memory. The whole movement is a few mm only. Exagerrated here: We should have someone good at making videos do a nice slow motion close up video of it, so people can get an "AHA, is that all it takes!"

Ah, that was what you meant, sure, yes it should. 🙂

I use it with Autoratate OFF. Note here that when you rotate closed you get a small rotation icon in the tray when you click that, it rotates anyway. There might be apps not supporting it, but it seems standard android, so an app issue. But OPTIMALLY we would have a third state apart from the current two, Landscape Open & Auto rotate Closed

But that is already there, turning auto-rotate Off.

On 1, I too think that would be nice - but as an option so people can choose. On 2, This would be nice IF limited to before the timeout, if people use screen lock on 3. I fear this odd behaviour is standard Android. So would be something that should be added. But would be nice. Actually reverse portrait is at least as useful as reverse landscape..

Those having issues opening: Two things * It is super easy to lift the rear rather than pushing the front * The problem pushing is that the intuitive thing to do is to push flat, but that is NOT the way to do it. It is super easy once you get it (like biking) but a bit complex the first few times. It is a movement of a few mm that is needed, and actually is a complex movement I tried to describe in an exaggerated image here and what those arguing for at completely flat screen does not realise is, that it would be HARD (if not impossible?) to open as pushing the top of a box shaped top.

Nice review. I would recommend having a look at FinQWERTY. He is placing the final touch on an improved US for qwertY as well as an improved German for the qwertZ. It is basically to have shift combined with digits and some symbol keys giving the same as currently requires the Fn (Yellow arrow) key. Hopefully this will also be included in the stock drivers in a later OTA update. But I guess they are too busy with more important stuff to improve this. A pity in MHO as the keyboard is THE thing for this device, so it would have been better of it was closer to perfect at launch, than aw

The only game I use is Sudoku, so too old for "insane credits" - oh sorry "inGAME" But thanks for the explanation. -

Found it !!! Apex Launcher Classic! (Android Does Team) Actually they handle it rather elegant. Let us say you choose 8x5 and 5x8 icons. Then the 5x5 is COMMON to the left in landscape, and TOP in portrait. Personally I would have preferred the common group to be at the bottom respectively rigth, so the were closer to the launch bar. But that MIGHT be a setting somewhere.... The keyboard functionality is not good, though existing. Logically they use arrows to rotate between pages, and tab to navigate in a primitive way for items on each page. So Rather contraintuitiv. Theo -

That can not be it, they seem to gone from all the launchers I tested, when I check one by one from the "Library" tab. And usually there can be reviews of old version in there - but they might have changed that - but these were no more than a month or two ago, and if they throw away reviews that fast, they might just as well remove them all, as no one is going to place any serious review that is this short lived. Then at the VERY least they should throw some splash, that your review is going to be purged, please go an update.... ....It is actually more than that, a LOT of them -

Google have thrown all my reviews of the launchers away?!? I wrote it in there, so can not find it again without trying all again - and not going to waste time on that F... Google -
This is getting absurd... What bubble do you live in? First of the 'company' do not need to have any employees, it could be a one-man business. Secondly, A lot of companies work close to the red line. Hopefully for them temporarily. Some work on loans systematically. Say building a whole house not seeing any income before it is finished.... There are many farmers around the globe that are in the red almost the whole year, until the harvest is sold....

What arrogance... You might find that funny, but a lot of small business around the world would not... Not all live by the same living standards as most of us in the "rich countries" do.

I'm not to judge. For some what you and I see as convenience, might give their business an increased productivity, and/or a more professional profile, than some flimsy BT solution that technically can do the same, so lending the money could make good sense. Without knowing the finer details, what is meant as a kind advice from you could be taken as an insult. Just saying... Just guessing here. But if you pull out a Pro1, flip it open and starts typing the customers stuff during a meeting, it sure looks a lot more proffesional, than if you pull a plastic BT keyboard from one pocket and a b

He he, You'll have to contact the staff on that. I'm independent - though a big fan of what they are doing. -
Though I agree in the principle, who are we to say what people should use their money for? Sure it is just convenience, But that convenience could be very valuable for some.

....I see this as just another variant of what we have in the extremely long threads: Guesses and assumptions bordering conspiracy theories made on insufficient facts. Could more facts have prevented people from entering this mess? Sure! I have no idea why they have not given more info and quicker. My personal guess is that they simply are too few people too busy with getting the phones out to everyone, to really waste time attempting to countering conspiracy theories. But that is just a guess, And I know others in here have other guesses bordering conspiracy theories. I have not hea
