I like the keyboard, particularly that it works where the on-screen one does not. However, I have a lot of trouble when writing comments and the like. Somehow, I often end up with the cursor shifting to the Submit button thanks to those arrow keys, and it always happens when I am about to press Enter. Not fun. Then again, I think the web browser is partly to blame here; selecting items via the arrow keys is rather unnecessary here (really only works in a text-based browser), and should be made trickier with large text fields.

The keyboard saving screen space is pretty good, too. As well as just giving me more room to see while typing, it also makes the autocompletion far easier since the suggestions are not replacing an existing key and are easily thumb-sized.

That said, I really like the on-screen thumb keyboard. Too bad it takes so much fiddling for it to appear, but it's great to type with thanks to the key spacing. Even the writing recognition is growing on me, although it is pitiful compared to CellWriter. (By the way, I just ran CellWriter by tunnelling X over SSH and it fits perfectly, although this window manager doesn't seem to understand its setting of struts. May just by the X tunneller's fault. Has anyone tried compiling it for the NIT?)
