I agree! The "Maemo" keyboard thus far is behind when it comes to user-keyboard interface. It takes up the whole screen and you have reopen it when moving to another type location etc,etc!

I couldn't agree more, we certainly need this for the N900.

I just think that would it being an open linux platform, it should not be that hard to change it to a more streamlined, low profile keyboard. Something else I can still see the screen.. OPERA have done exactly that.... Any developers/tweakers care to help?

While I don't mind the osk that comes with Maemo (I would like that it doesn't cover the whole screen, though, but half - like in Opera) I would really love to have a good portrait keyboard, especially with all the new portrait modes coming in 1.2 (intended or not).
Typing while browsing or IM-ing in portrait would be great, and it works really well in Opera.
However, not sure if this is possible. It seems there's more to it than just designing a vertical set of buttons. Perhaps someone with the technical knowledge could care to enlighten us!

I don't think that opera is open sourced so probably no-go to 'take it' and use it .

There's already a thread for this, I thought?
<edit> Yep - right here.
Who knows how to create *.vkb files that would act like the Opera one?

I don't mind if it's not the exact osk from opera, I just meant the same design. Half screen and small profile.
Portrait and Landscape halfscreen keyboards.

who knows how to get the adobe flash player to install? i tried to download all the file types from the adobe site when redirected (.deb, tar.gz, rpm and YUM) but none would install. help...
The title pretty much explains my entire question.
I downloaded Opera lastnight and it's great, very similar to my Opera 10.x.x on my PC. Great. Enough said.
The on screen keyboard is where I have become amazed.
I expected the Maemo crappy O/S keyboard to pop up, and insted I got a great keyboard.. Is there any way to have this or one similar to this insted of the weak *** one provided by Maemo?
There are 1001 keyboard's available for iPhones, I'm wondering if we can do similar on N900?
