Stay in landscape when KB is pushed in??

I've searched... maybe I'm not entering the correct search terms. I would like for the screen orientation to stay in landscape when the KB is pushed in. Like when you enter a search term or login using the hardware KB then you want to view results but you don't want the KB to remain out. If you push it in, the screen rotates to portrait automatically. Any help or point me to a thread? Thanks.

So, do you just want it in landscape all the time? Or do you want some way to later switch it back to portrait?

I'd like to keep mine in landscape, I know that if I get tired of it I can always mess with some registry entries but I think it'd be quicker for texting since it doesn't have to spend that extra time rotating the screen.

this is OLD might still work.. http://www.pocketpccentral.net/software/landscape.htm

you can also use a button editor(i use AEButton Plus, attached cab) for <rotate screen> that switch it right back for you after u close keyboard...

theres a cab floating around here too that uses the accelerometer for screen orientation, u can even set it to specific programs only, dunno if txting is one though, i dont mess with it

edit*** still searchin around for something better for ya... i just read apost where the guy set up voice command to <rotate screen> and it works for him, then you can slide in the keyboard, hold down talk, say rotate screen, and bingo.....although u could save a step a just say rotate screen and never open up keyboard lol

reedit** here ya go.. Gyrator 2 this thread says.. http://67.228.199.237/forum.ppcgeeks...ad.php?t=46767
