There is a flag (forgot what it is at the moment) that allows the app
to remain visible above the IME in fullscreen mode. But is there a
way to make the standard soft keyboard IME not go into fullscreen mode
in Landscape?
You can see what I mean, if you try my app: "Better Terminal Emulator
Magic" which is a free app.
the "Better Terminal Emulator Pro" version has the hack to force
resize the app, but is not a free app.
Thanks,
Howard
