If there is app out there that lets you store text and have keyboard shortcuts setup to paste whatever is stored that is associated with that shortcut. I use a small program in Windows all the time for entering email address and password and such and hoping Android has something exactly like this.

I need to test that a certain part of the app will function if the device loses signal while the app is running. I believe you can switch the connection off prior to starting the app but I need a connection to start the app and then need it to drop after that.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for smiles? I am a heavy smiley facer and I hate to navigate through the keyboard menu to get to them.
On my Moment's QWERTY it was FN+C
Handcent has an option to map the Enter key to Smiles, but it doesn't seem to work...
For those of you that are familiar with better keyboard. I was wondering about an easy way to switch from the t9 keyboard to the regular qwerty keyboard. I was under the impression that swiping left would toggle between the 2 but all that does is bring me to the numbers and symbols keyboard. I've been changing back and forth to the android keyboard because its faster than going into the better keyboard settings.

Dev = ne0fhyk from XDA.
From the XDA forum: Link to app page = [APP][ROOT/Keyboard] Keyboard Manager - Dual keyboard: Portrait/landscape switch - xda-developers
Verbage:
Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.
It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).
As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.
Requirements:
- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)
- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.
To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer
The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'
Update:
- Added option to disable notification icon
-' start on boot' feature is disabled because it's not yet complete and tested... Sorry for the confusion
Bugs:
-On certain applications (i.e: Messaging on Samsung Captivate), the input window occasionally freeze on orientation switch. Exiting the app, and resuming should fix it.
The app is still in development.
Is there a way to cut and paste from an email? I have tried all sorts of things and cannot find it, I have tried holding on the text I have tried menu, nothing. I think it is more likely that I just can't find it than android left this out, if they did it is a major oversight.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an app that I can configure with a list of words which I can later select via press and hold and be able to select which word I want to paste/type. I was hoping one of the add-on keyboard or clipboard apps would provide this feature but I haven't had any luck finding anything. I have a big email address and password and would love to keep them in a permanent clipboard of some sort. The clipboard apps I've tried kind of fit the bill but switching to that app for the purposes of making a selection disrupted the flow of things. Press and hold would be best. Can anyone suggest an app that would accomplish this? I've been also looking for a way to remove the stupid arrow keys at the bottom of my HTC Evo's keyboard. I tried better keyboard from the market but I'm having issues getting used to those keys. The letters seem smaller or something.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI know it's hard to believe, but stuff like this sticks out like a thumb to me as a Copy & Paste error. From the source I've been looking at for TextView (please correct me if I'm in the wrong place) at:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;...
This is in the setCompoundDrawables() function, after we've determined that we indeed have a Drawable to set: 1371 if (dr == null) {1371 mDrawables = dr = new Drawables(); 1372 } 1373
This is okay

Was out today and called up some numbers for restaurants in the browser. I tried to copy the number from the browser so I could paste it into the dialer. I managed to get the number to the clip-board, but then I couldn't paste it into the dialer! I'm using a DSTL1 which only has soft keyboard and I can't get combinations of shift and menu to make it work.

I find this code useful and want to copy-paste it into my application which is licensed as public domain.
It is the Android blog, they often show useful code snippets. There is no way to contact the author, and the only license info I can see is "©2008 Google Inc. All rights reserved."
Should I:
Stop worrying and just copy-paste?
Reimplement it myself without looking?
