Just curious is their a way to disable it only in landscape mode?
Im using pocketcm and it pops up when ever im sending a text.
I checked in the regestry and i tried sktools, but its an older release.
Im running Schap's WM6 Pro 4.22 lite ROM and ive checked in his advanced tools...nada.

there's a bunch of programs that let you set different soft keyboard depending on if you're in portrait or landscape mode; one off the top of my head is PQzII. i think QuickMenu might also have the feature, but i can't check right now. anyway, set whatever soft keyboard you want for portrait mode, but for landscape, grab the soft keyboard named NullKeyboard (http://personales.ya.com/beemer/nullkeyboard.htm). it's like a blank keyboard, which is as close as you can get to solving your problem. just use PQzII (or whatever) to set the landscape keyboard as NullKB, and you're all set.

On my Kaiser, if it pops up in landscape mode, if I just start typing with my hardware keyboard, it goes away automatically. Does the Hermes not do that?

It does, but not when i use contactcm. Even now i noticed when i use null keyboard contactcm it still shows 2 send buttons on the screen and the keyboard comes back but u cant see it.. so null didnt really help with that program, No biggie ill just tap the screen to drop the keyboard. once i do that it dosnt pop back up, unless i close the program.. only happends on 2 programs i use.
