This is the code to switch between keyboards

Code:
gconftool-2 --type string /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/finger -s <keyboard name>
Default keyboard is called : hildon_western_fkb
Portrait keyboard is called : hildon_im_onehand_fkb

Just simple enter these commands in the order I list them in :

To enable portait keyboard:

Code:
gconftool-2 --type string /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/finger -s hildon_im_onehand_fkb
Code:
killall hildon-input-method
Then if you want to revert to the default landscape QWERTY keyboard:

Code:
gconftool-2 --type string /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/finger -s hildon_western_fkb
Code:
killall hildon-input-method
Hope this helps people wanting to switch ebtween them easily

Maybe somebody can make a script so we can simply execute the commands easily! Or a control panel applet? Last exam tommorow and I am gonna try and get in on the developing side to try and help Maybe I will make a toggle switch in the settings as a seperate applet if nobody does it before I get a chance to
