Option to ignore physical keyboard about hackerskeyboard HOT 5 CLOSED

I added a "Force keyboard on" preference in revision 
09a22d0cd515a3a2b3e74a4d63a40a4d886ed583, off by default.

Try v1.23rc2 (or later) from 
http://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/downloads/list, and please let me know 
if that works for you.

That fixed the issue! Thanks very much, now I can use a full keyboard
(including the ever elusive tab key) on my Droid Pro!

Thanks for the confirmation!

FYI, once I get a chance to work on a keyboard selection refactoring, I plan to 
add a 1-row layout that has just the missing special keys, to save space. Does 
it currently work to use the hardware keyboard together with the soft keyboard 
while the soft keyboard is forced on?

It works just fine.  If I can make a suggestion for your 1 row layout (which
would be perfect for portrait mode), maybe add a key to bring up the full
keyboard and shrink it back down? Some things like <, >, { and } are very
hard to get to on the hardware keyboard.  In fact, while typing those
special characters, I had your keyboard on capslock and used my regular just
fine, without it being affected by your keyboard's capslock.

Let me know if I can help test anything.

It'll be a while before I have something for testing, but please subscribe to 
issue 13 if you want to track progress on this issue, I'll add updates there 
when I have news.
