Everytime I type- I inadvertently add periods to my sentences because the space bar is so small. Does anyone else have this issue and is there an app I can download with a better keyboard? I have been searching over so many keyboard apps- but none of them address the space bar issue.


Thanks

same problem here. tried swype and didn't like it. why did they not leave out the period and just auto punctuate on a spacebar double press.

I'm using the Swiftkey X beta and have the same problem

I also hate how it won't let me put 2 spaces after a period. I'm very anal about those 2 spaces

Mcbrett, you hit the nail on the head when you asked if there is a "better keyboard". That's excatly the app you should search for in the market. Type in better keyboard in the search and you'll be good to go. I've been using it since I had my fascinate and had to start using it again because of the Charge's midget spacebar and the periods I kept dumping in my sentences.
Thanked by expidia

You guys still type? The voice to text works so well for me I rarely touch the keyboard except to hit the microphone button.....
