Opera Mini Virtual Keyboard

[firefurby]

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!
