I am one of those folks who had a BlackBerry and LOVED the physical keyboard. After BlackBerry ended phone production, I stayed with the BlackBerry-branded phones for that physical keyboard. My current phone (which does not have a physical keyboard) is nearing the end of its planned obsolescence, and I definitely want to look into this new physical-keyboard phone.

Stuff that just sucks. E.g. has abysmal usability and is very badly implemented:

#android + #physicalKeyboard + #keyboardlayout + #shortcuts

Choose any two of the four and the great spaghetti monster save you

Well, getting a new gadget can be fun, but at the moment, I am getting a wee bit frustrated, as I checked certain settings for about 10 times now, and they "should" be good and all, but somehow... It's not working as it should. So I was hoping that maybe the #FediHive mind could help out?

I have a Samsung tablet. I have a BT Samsung keyboard connected to it. With the old Samsung tablet, I had the settings that, if I were using the physical keyboard, the on-screen one would sod off, unless I tapped the screen and then it would come back on again. But I have all the settings as they should be, with the "hide virtual keyboard when using a physical keyboard". I checked the setting in both the Android software and in my SwiftKey software. And that used to work properly with my old tablet. But whatever I set it to now, the SwiftKey keyboard doesn't leave the screen when I am using the physical keyboard and it's driving me nuts. I just want it to leave when I don't need it... Ugh... it's so annoying and I don't know what to do to have the on-screen keyboard just leave when I am using the BT one, like the old tablet just did when you set it to do that... 🤔

So hopefully some smart Fedi folks will know where my error lies and then help me end the "little" frustration over this...

Ah well, I wrote an email to a sweet friend, I wrote my journal toot, and I walked with Bas. Now waiting for a parcel to arrive. And I will have to hassle a bit with the Fedilabs app to get all my beige accounts in it. That's the only downside of having a few accounts on the same instance, it's a bit harder to add them all to the Masto app... But I have done it before, so I can do it again. 😉

When the parcel has been delivered, estimated now between 11:24-12:24, I will walk with Bas again. And then, I have a plan... Relax on the couch and watch some telly. Maybe catch a snooze with little Bas...

Have a lovely day/time folks! And thanks in advance for any help. I will add the "needed" hashtags beneath the Toot for visibility.

Will the perfect form factor ever have a comeback?

I miss my BlackBerry Q10. A lot. It’s still my favorite smartphone I’ve ever used, but I’d take any BlackBerry with a physical keyboard over the offerings available today. I still can’t stand typing on glass. Photo from 2018.
