I've got a version that lets me use the keyboard.
it'll popup the virtual one, but close the virtual one, and you can continue poking at the real keyboard. want it? let me know somehow and I can get it to you.
edit:
it's version: 9.5 build 1957 I uploaded it to my site..

I also have version 9.5 build 2128 but it only lets me use the virtual keyboard.. anyone find a fix, let me know. Thank you very much.
