Fix for the annoying enter key "l"

North19 · 06-07-2011, 10:23 AM

I know I'm not the only one who finds I sometimes get an "l" instead of an Enter/Done/Go. Sometimes I can close the keyboard and find a "go" or "save" or "submit" button to click, but sometimes I really need it to work from the keyboard.

I've found that this glitch only happens on the alpha keyboard; if you click over to the numeric screen, the "go/done/enter" magically works again...

At least it does so far for me.

Hope that helps someone else.

The only time I seem to run into a problem with this is when I use the stock Android browser and the stock Android keyboard. It is pretty annoying. Thanks for the tip.

Here's a better keyboard which doesn't seem to have the problem:

I noticed this before, and what I also noticed was that it only ever happens when the keyboard has a word suggestion to pick from. Selecting the suggested word or pressing space bar works.
