This plugin allows the use of FastSMS as virtual keyboard in all N900. Please report all of your problem here so I can try to solve.

How use it?

• Simply click on text-field where you want write, like standard virtual keyboard

What you need to know:

• This plugin depends on fastsms 0.5. You need it!
• When you start the keyboard for the first time after install or after a reboot you have to wait some seconds. Next opens are immediate. I suggest to start it from the icon then minimize it (don't close) and then tap on a text area.
• FastSMS remains loaded in memory. If you want shutdown it open it from icon in main menu and close it.
• When you use this in a field that request a "return" for processing input (like mibroB) you have to hit return key on vkb and then hide vkb.
• Restart your device after install or kill fastsms process

Well-knowed problem:

• All bugs reported for FastSMS http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=56220
• Open HW keyboard doesn't hide vkb
• If you open a context menu vkb doesn't appears for that input-field

Next improvements:

• Add "none" to dictionary for user that dislike/don't use FastWrite
• Load all at N900 boot-time
• Add button for smile
• ...

Yes in devel (when maemo extra assistant move it).

Without FastSMS? why this? FastSMS in only a keyboard now...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FastSMSEvo: system virtual keyboard T9/Qwerty
 

Let me suggest you to use a more generic name such as "Virtual Keyboard Replacement" or something like that. This way it will be more discoverable for noob users once it reaches Extras.

As said, it would be better if FastSMS depend on the Virtual Keyboard for the future.

Good work,

Sorry, but what do you mean with "As said, it would be better if FastSMS depend on the Virtual Keyboard for the future."?
