Enhancement: add an option to change input type #572

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Context:
ConnectBot is a great ssh client but my htc virtual keyboard while great for 
sms and e-mail is definitively not adapted to console work (| is available 
after 3 clicks, no tab, no arrows ...). I found another virtual keyboard which 
correct those problems (hackerskeyboard - 
https://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard) but is less useable for mail and 
sms, so I have to switch often between the two input method (I wrote a very 
tiny application which just show input manager and launch it from a widget 
shortcut). 

Proposal: 
I propose either to add a menu in connectbot which allow to run input manager 
within connectbot. 

It's very simple to tell android to show the input manager dialog : 

InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) 
getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.showInputMethodPicker();
