Primarily meant for ConnectBot users yet a handy solution for users who wish to do extensive typing and/or command entry on their Android devices and particularly useful for tablet users, Hacker’s Keyboard is an onscreen input method for Android that simulates the conventional desktop computer keyboard. In addition to the conventional set of customizable options (settings button visibility, suggestions, auto-complete etc.), the IME comes packed with a few handy options of its own. These include altering the portrait and landscape height of the keyboard and the option to disable the full keyboard layout for portrait orientation.
The arrow keys are particularly useful for devices that do not sport a trackball for quickly moving the cursor through typed text. The Fn key reveals the function keys (F1 – F12), navigation keys (Home, End, Ins, Del, PgUp and PgDn) and the numpad.
The IME is best used in landscape orientation, especially if you’re using it on a 3.7” screen Android smartphone. However, you won’t have to worry about switching back and forth between the default input method and Hacker’s Keyboard while shifting orientation. Simply uncheck the Full keyboard in portrait mode option from within the IME’s settings menu and the keyboard will automatically change its layout to that of the default gingerbread keyboard upon switching to portrait mode.
You can grab the IME for free from the Android Market via the provided link or QR code.
