-Neither fingerkeyboard or the stock full qwerty have decimal points in their numeric keyboards.
As a result, entering dates in a 8/25/09 format and numbers with decimal points requires a frustrating number of extra keystrokes or the use of the long press on the alpha keyboard.
Is there another keyboard out there that addresses these deficiencies?

Hi,
you can try my layouts for
FingerKeyboard2 on second post :
HERE
unzip the archive and copy only the
digits txt file to
\program files\fingerkeyb\skins\ (make a backup of your original digits before :
land for landscape &
port for portrait)
Otherwise you can try
PocketCM Keyboard v0.14 with my skins & layouts :
HERE
PCMK14 uses intensive popup lines of 10 keys : hold a key 2 sec and slide to the left/right then release to type.
All ponctuations are on "space", all "bars" are on keyboard change (double arrows/123 key), cut-copy-paste are on "enter", each letter has CAPITAL+ words shortcuts. The numeric pad is also a kind of phonepad texting : type once and you'll get a number but hold 2 sec and you'll get a popup line with letters.
There are 2 kinds of layouts : ANSI & UNICODE to suit best your windows font (a few fonts are buggy with UNICODE but special symbols as Greek letters are only UNICODE).
