Show/Hide Keyboard on the Samsung Galaxy S2

Question

I used to have a HTC Magic, and I recently switched to a Samsung Galaxy S2.

One thing I miss is the ability to Show/hide the keyboard, on the HTC Magic, a long press of the menu key toggled the keyboard's visibility, is there a way to achieve the same thing on the Galaxy S2? (I tried several long presses and various swype up or down gestures to no avail...)

Thanks!

Posted my question too quickly, I just found a way to do a bit the same, when the keyboard is out, a press on back will hide it, this is handy when filling forms with numerous entries, to make the keyboard pop out again simply click in a text field...

This is enough so far, and a long press on the menu will bring out the search window.
