    Hmm, I was wondering is it a good idea to use proximity sensor to invoke VKB i.e.:

    If (proximity == ACTIVE) && (tk_lock == UNLOCKED) && (keyboard_state == CLOSED) && (phone_ui_state == NOT_ACTIVE)
    {
    show_vkb();
    }

    I know that will conflict witch shortcutd, but still.

    Nah, why so? Standard Maemo's way of showing keyboard (if it would work for portrait with keyboard closed, just like in landscape with keyboard closed), is OK enough. Messing with proximity sensor, this way, have potential to break many other things.

    BTW, polling proximity sensor isn't very friendly for battery either. Reportedly, there is way to do it without spamming checks - qwazix had some info from joerg_rw, about "low level" way of doing it.

    Standard way of invoking vkb does not work all the times, think for contact search while in desktop or song search in media player - you need to open physical kbd to get the job done.

    Also using proximity sensor only when the screen is unlocked should not affect battery life that much.

    shortcutd way to show the keyboard on event

    http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=77440

    I think it would be better to bake that into shortcutd and let the user decide. I am against proximity enabled things while I'm using the phone as I tend to cover the sensor accidentally.

    EDIT: I know it's hackish but it opens the edit box too, while showing a vkb without anywhere to write would be awkward. (on the other hand the vkb has own edit area isn't it? I wish it could go away...)

    I see. Well, the other option could be some global swype functionality, though I don't know if this is possible at all

    Are sliding keys working with fremantles vkb?

    The older "fullscreen" vkb had sliding keys ".,-":


    But I don't know if this option is usable with the current
    dialog window based vkb.

    Don't see a reason why it should not work, at least it seems to be supported (judging by looking at the source code)
