        if(m_sCurrOrientation.compare(Core::ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) != 0)
        {
            setAttribute(Qt::WA_Maemo5LandscapeOrientation, true);

            hide();
            showMaximized();
        }
#endif

Maybe you could check if the window that requested the keyboard has HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_SUPPORT set on it? If it doesn't, do that part of the code, else, skip and hide().

It isn't easy...I don't have the window in fastsms and perhaps this isn't the problem. Here I only return in landscape to prevent strange behaviour... you can take a look at TextProcessor.commit

@Unit247:
ATM no way, sorry...

If I may make a suggestion: I would do a left alignment for the donate link to PayPal and also put it in your signature (with a link to this thread). As it is, it took me awhile to visually find the donate link since my eyes skipped from reading the version in devel to the instructions.

PLEASE DON'T DOWNLOAD FASTSMS-0.5-1

No but vkb doesn't works in that version :)

However if you didn't reboot your phone you will have the previous version in memory and all works well, in few minutes I will post a new (working) version

lol I just rebooted my phone before your reply! but everything seems to work fine tho, the VK was working, qwerty and t9

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
 
You can downgrade to the old version by running "sudo apt-get install fastsms=0.5-0" if the new doesn't work for you.

realsportcars 2011-01-25 21:03

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
 
Really it works with 0-5.1? Wow!
No reason to downgrade, soon 0.5-2 in devel...

@Mentalist: Please let me know if you have again problem with missed commit...Perhaps it is solved now (not yet in web-pages, but I know why)

EDIT: 0.5-3 in devel with some minor fix

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
 
if you can make conversations automatically rotate (using cTRL + SHIFT + R) this will work great for portrait conversations..

and if you can add words to dictionary easily.

This is just amazing! IMO this was a big disadvantage of the N900..

Lol. Nice and to the point. I like it. (I agree. Give realsportscars money. :) )

Anyway, I was only able to get to wifi and update from the first devel version of this to the newer one last night, pretty late in. I rebooted and got some time to fiddle with it in conversations - I can't completely tell how well it worked. I did get a couple of text-input-doesn't-get-committed moments, however, they happened less, and I got the text to commit more often. I haven't had the time to see a pattern for when they commits happen or when they don't yet; just that they seem to get committed more consistently, with less text-not-committed bugs.

So in my perception, there's been improvement. I can't say it's completely bug-less, but it at least seems to be.

On another note, I was walking around campus yesterday finally being able to text with one hand, without it being a complicated hard-ware keyboard-open, N900-in-splayed-fingers, thumb-awkwardly-contorting-around-to-reach-all-the-buttons affair. It was wonderful.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
 
All this needs is text prediction/autocorrect. The N900 is infinitely more "useable" with a portrait VKB.

Thanks for working on this. May your crops always be fertilized and grow well.

Eheh...Glad that the bug is quite solved, after your answer i'm quite sure that I understood what is the problem...And I'm also quite sure that you have some process in background that slow down ui :P (this is the problem, a "sync" fault). I will try something...

Love this sentence "N900-in-splayed-fingers, thumb-awkwardly-contorting-around-to-reach-all-the-buttons affair" LOL

I am seeing the same thing regarding some cases where initial text entry doesn't get passed back to the application's text field. It works more than it doesn't though - seems to be only the first time I try to input text.

Also - working with password fields on web-forms is interesting. For example:

First text input:
MyWrongPassword

Textbox displays:
MyWrongPassword

Go to edit text again and clear out "MyWrongPassword" and enter "MyCorrectPassword"

Textbox displays:
MyWrongPasswordMyCorrectPassword

And this keeps going on :-)

Don't want to go OT or point finger against you, but people that think that have to understand that donations are a way to support develop...
I heard a lot of people that say "when you do this I will donate"...no one did it -_-

And...if you know where vkb doesn't works say it so I can fix

Sorry I'm a bit tired today...Did you experienced this in a web page? If yes, Did you use MicroB?

EDIT:
@hawaii: In a far far future perhaps yes :P

EDIT AGAIN: you said "working with password fields on web-forms is interesting" so yes it is in a web page :)

This is a well knowed bug that I'm solving with a next release in next days...as you said, atm, only the first commit works well in web-page...next commit works sometimes yes, sometimes not

I decided to not wait until I for sure have a job, because this has been one of the most needed developments on the N900. Donated.

Well if you don't get it for a while do let me know, because then we have to go bug paypal about it. Just so you know, the email linked to my paypal account is not the one used by my account here - which is why I posted the confirmation number. (Of course it's also converting dollars to euros, and I just had to make some college related purchases, so I don't know how that effects processing on the side of the credit-card company.)

Well i have to say you're right;) But it doesn't work in every twitter app i have. You get the vkb and you can type, but when you exit the vkb the typed text is gone.

Can you please give me the name of those apps? I don't use twitter so I really don't know...

when in conversations, i press ctrl+shift+r to rotate conversations to portrait, i click on the text field, the portrait vkb pops up like normal and i go on typing.

after finishing, i click outside of the keyboard to view my text, it briefly (half a second) switches to landscape mode vkb and only exits to the text field view. i get that almost all the time. i got it even in microb. bug?

uhmm....I have to say that I didn't tested it using "trick" of ctrl+shift+r, but yes, it is a bug :) Thank you for your notice!

EDIT: this bug is not a due of the "trick", it was my fault

Doesn't enter text in the currently WRT Twimgo, and for me it doesn't enter text in an X Terminal that already has text in it.

About XTerm: doesn't it enter the text or the text already entered is not displayed when vkb is opened? Second case is like the stock keyboard works...

Trying WRT now...

Thank you a lot, I will write to you when I received it, I really appreciate :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't install TwinGo now because it seems to be a quite long task, but due this is based on Qt web runtime I think that the problem is the same of MicroB., tomorrow I will try this
Which are others twitter apps where FSE doesn't works well?

When a first run is done, with major bug solved, I think that it comes in extra-repo quite quickly
