about help
Well, if Spb ever create such a keyboard, here is how I would like it to work:

Currently, Sbp Full Screen Keyboard (FSK) adds a small icon at the top left of a selected keyboard, which shows the FSK when pressed. I guess that a registry hack by Spb team makes this small icon appear. I would suggest another registry hack (if it's possible), which would make a bar appearing at the top of the selected keyboard. On this bar, there should be two buttons that would lead to FSK and T9 keyboards, respectively. Also, there should be a new way of viewing the suggested words. The pictures below show what I mean.




Pic. 1:
One of the two buttons on the "top bar" should lead to FSK.
The new FSK should have an additional bar at the top, in order to show more suggested words, which will be easily selected by fingers.
When pressing at the the top left button, a "full white screen" should appear, showing the text we have typed by that time. With this feature, we will not have to switch between portrait and landscape mode to see what we have typed so far. We will be able to view the whole text, without quitting Spb FSK.





Pic. 2:
Switching between different skins should be possible directly from the context menu, which appears when pressing and holding on the "Exit" button. This will help us to avoid the "confusion" of vocabularies. E.g. if I want to write both in English and German and I want to switch quickly between the two languages, I can install a skin with both English and German layouts. However, currently I can't have separated dictionaries for different layouts. So, this problem can be solved by this feature.
Also, an additional option that would lead to the "Options" menu would be very helpful.

The second button will lead to the T9 keyboard. The bar with the suggested words applies here, as well. However, here we could also have an option to select between one or two lines of suggested words.

This feature will satisfy a request posted in this thread by a fellow member of Spb Club. Since the T9 keyboard will be skinnable, just like the FSK, one who is interested in a full-screen T9 keyboard, he/she could create such a keyboard by himself/herself or make a request to have it.


I am looking forward to comments on these requests by Spb team and other members of Spb club.
