need qwerty in landscape

[dsergison]

the abc def ghi 3-to-a-key layout drives me nuts. keyboards I try such as go keyboard just changes the look but not the layout.

they are only qwerty in portrait. can find no solution or even discussion online. what the heck? I cannot be the only one.

Do you have "auto rotate screen" checked in display settings?

 

[dsergison]

yeah, or at least it does auto rotate. why? when it rotates my portriat qwerty layout turns into a landscape 9 key multi letter per key.

always has.

open your keyboard as if you were typing a message. look above letters you should see arrows pointing left and right and this " >>" press this symbol several times to change keyboard layout

 

[dsergison]

that's it! (>>) key. so simple, any I could not find it in any settings menu. I was so frustrated. feeling a bit silly now.

Thanks so much.
