ICS Keyboard

TechnoFreek

Hey guys,

I just upgraded to the HTC One X and android Ice Cream Sandwich. I previously had the HTC Desire running Froyo.

One thing I can't seem to do on ICS is force open the keyboard. On the Desire I could long press the physical menu button to do this but this button is now not on the One X.

The reason I need this is that every day I do the Irish Times crossword online! The crossword is flash based so the browser does not recognise it as a text entry field and therefore does not open up the keyboard when I click on a clue and the cursor moved into a cell.
Hence my need to force it open myself!

All advice appreciated!

Have no idea as how to force a menu button... I know for me (on a custom rom) I added the softkeys (like galaxy nexus) and set it so that the menu key would be always available, instead of the hide/show thingy in ICS. Then that would work. Are you rooted? There is probably an easier way but no matter what you'll need root.

Could you tell us what browser are you using? Also what launcher, HTC sense?
