View 9 RepliesI hear people complain a lot about iPad's virtual keyboard or I hear them say that the keyboard dock is necessary for typing longer documents. I actually find iPad's virtual keyboard easier to type on than a tactile keyboard, and I was wondering if I'm the only one.I often see people typing in landscape mode on their iPad with only one finger. Why not just type the correct way as you would on a tactile keyboard? That's the way I type and my typing is faster on the virtual keyboard. I think it's easier and faster because 1) I don't have to press down on each key, just lightly and quickly tap my fingers on the screen, and 2) iOS corrects and auto-capitalizes so many words that I save time by not needing to hold down shift keys or enter periods or apostrophes all the time.
View 24 RepliesI have a bluetooth keyboard working with my iPad (in fact, I'm typing up this message with it now). But I took my iPad to another room, and when I went to a text area to type, it still thought I was connected to my bluetooth keyboard. Needless to say, I couldn't type, and so I had to turn off my Bluetooth in order to bring the virtual keyboard back up again.
Is there a way to tell the iPad to bring up the virtual keyboard, even if the bluetooth one is currently connected?
Information:
I downloaded 5.0.1. Now virtual keyboard does not always appear
Info:iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1
Is there a way to change the virtual keyboard layout, with slightly smaller keys but with a fifth row for the numbers?
View 1 RepliesI've had my iPad about a week and this morning the virtual keyboard started messing up. It types without me touching the screen. simply my hand passing over the keys will cause the key to type. does the same thing when launching an app. just pass over it and the app launches. Information : iPad iOS 4.
View 2 Repliesis there anyway to use iPad's virtual keyboard on the imac for typing? Perhaps via Bluetooth?
View 2 RepliesI have sent feedback to Apple, and have heard nothing. I have called Apple and was told to leave "feedback".
Is it just me, or does it seem silly to have to type twice as many characters just to enter a password because Apple didn't include numbers on the keyboard.
An eight digit password now takes 12 keystrokes as one must keep turning on and off the numbers row.
Am I missing something?

iOS 4
mac when needed
Having periodic problems with virtual iPad keyboard not appearing at times (e.g. Composing email).
By totally shutting down and restarting it then appears normal. This is a tedious fix. What is going on? Can it be permanently fixed?
Have an ipad2 and the virtual keyboard takes 15 seconds to appear after I touch the search bar.

View 5 RepliesHow do I get a backward slash on the iPad virtual keyboard?
I agree the virtual keyboard used idea, but I am not use to keyboard without left/right cursor, Especially point words with my bigger finger.
Info:
iPad, iOS 5.1.1
Since there are no arrow keys on a virtual keyboard...
is there a way to move your cursor through your text without effecting your text using your virtual keys like you can with a physical keyboard's arrow keys
Or is the only way... to use your finger in the magnifying glass to drag/reposition your cursor which I'm getting better at but still find clunky, imprecise and slow requiring extra concentration, much more than using arrow keys.
Info:
Mac Pro 3.0 GHz Quad-Core, iPad WiFi/3G, iPhone4, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 30" HP Display, 22" Cinema Display
I am accustomed to having arrows for non-destructive movement left and right in an input field. So far, I have had to point with my (fat) finger in a field in the approximate location and use the backspace key to move around and make corrections.

View 1 RepliesI've just started blogging because of it, it's such a great device for really interacting with the internet and media.However, I think the interface for typing is a bit silly. There's no cursor on the virtual keyboard (which is important for quickly going back and editing a mistake you've made... the hold and drag method is so cumbersome it hurts) and a way of scrolling through large textboxes.It's near impossible to edit a long post in wordpress, for example, because its very hard to scroll up and down through the text input on the form. I don't think it's really possible at all, actually.
