Opera Mini Virtual Keyboard

firefurby · #1 (**permalink**) 10-11-2009, 10:29 AM

I was recently trying out Opera Mini and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to disable its virtual keyboard? It takes up a lot of the screen and really isn't necessary for me since the hardware keyboard is right there.

Also, I noticed that when using the hardware keyboard if I tried to enter a number it would default to the letter and I would have to tap it multiple times to get the number. Any way around this either?

Thanks in advance!

I assume you are using Opera Mini 5.0. I use 4.2 set to auto-rotate with G Sensor. The soft keyboard is the regular one and there are no problems with the hard keyboard either. I found 5.0 a little quirky.

Same here (OM 4.2 is my browser of choice for everyday use hands down), except I have it rotating with the stock g-sen.

OM 5.0 definitely has promise, but it's much too buggy to replace 4.2 at this point IMHO.

Is there a way to install them side by side? I want to try 5 but don't want to get rid of 4.2 until 5 final comes out (and is hopefully better in every way).

I had them both running before I uninstalled 5.0. Use the attached cab for 4.2. should work.

Thanks for the help guys. I will try out 4.2 and see how it goes.
