Give me back arrow keys on keyboard!
 
So, I've been trying new keyboards, and after Swype, Droid X, I still think that HTC's keyboard is the best. Problem is, most ROMs remove the arrows from keyboard.

Now, I type in a lot of technical terms, and sometimes foreign words by using English alphabet. I do not want to add them to the dictionary every time. Before it was easy, on a suggestion bar, just tap left arrow and that's it. Now those arrows are gone.

Is there a good way of bringing them back? Or is there Desire HD keyboard floating around? That seemed the best for me, just ROM was very unstable.

I really would like to avoid doing NAND restore to the ROM that had proper keyboard...

I also had Driod X , I prefer the Evo4G and really like arrows on keyboard for moving around and editing text.

Using Swype, you can access the arrows and some other commands by swyping from the Swype key to the SYM button. I know this isn't as convenient as already having the arrows on the screen ready to press, but it does come in handy.

Other buttons on this page: 'Select All' 'Cursor Jump' 'Page Up' 'Page Down' 'Home' 'End' 'Select Text' 'Cut' 'Copy' 'Paste' 'Tab (arrow to a line), Backspace, Delete (like your keyboard, deletes letter in front of cursor), and delete word.

If you Swype from the Swype key to the number 5 (well, long-press it's 5, really the letter F), it opens up a numeric keypad with some symbols that's a bit easier to use than the SYM key for typing numbers.

Again, it's not a fix for having the arrows up all the time (which would be nice) but the option is there when you need it.
