I have a Droid 2 (on Gingerbread); The device has a physical keyboard.
I use virtual keyboard in portrait mode sometimes, but never in landscape mode (since I have physical keyboard.)
Is there a way that would allow me to disable virtual keyboard when in landscape mode, but leave it available for portrait mode?
There is a way but not an easy way. You can use keyboards like Null keyboard.
A keyboard that does nothing. Yes, really. This keyboard is useful if you have an external bluetooth keyboard paired with your phone and you want to stop the on-screen keyboard from popping up all the time.
The problem is every time you change mode you have to change the input method.
Don't touch the screen. Instead, use the tab and the arrow keys on the bluetooth keyboard to navigate. This way, the pop-up keyboard will never come up.
It is a challenge. There are a lot of shortcuts and tricks to learn, but it's more convenient once you get the hang of it. I guess the simplest answer would be to get a bluetooth mouse as well. Use that to select things instead of touching the screen.
