I have been trying several writting apps with a keyboard using both USB and bluetooth connection.
Using apps like "Bluetooth always On" , "Rotation Control" and "External Keyboard Helper" the experience of typìng on the Icarus have improved to the point that I feel confident in using it for that purpose.
However there is a problem with many writting apps. When using the A2 mode the cursor dissapear from the screen. This happens in my favourite writting app "Jotterpad" as well as others like "AI Writer" and "Monospace-Writting". I have found an app, "WriterPlus" that doesn't have that problem, but I would prefer to use Jotterpad in A2 mode.
¿Does anybody know what causes that behaviour and if it can be fixed? Any suggestion for an alternative app for writting is welcome.
