Is there a way that the 40 key keyboard can replace the 12 HTC Touch?

---

I just installed the Google Search Today plug in the other day, and what's nice about is that when you click on it, it comes up with this rarely seen 40 key QWERTY keyboard that makes typing way easier than that other microscopic keyboard we usually have to use to enter passwords and stuff where the 20 key keyboard can't be used.

I saw someone created a reg hack that enabled the 40 keyboard ALL the time, but isn't there a way that it could just replace the 12 key keyboard (which I find totally useless), so that when you click on the 12 key, the 40 key will show up and actually work for passwords and such?

I find it extremely annoying having to fiddle with the other standard keyboard for passwords...that's the time where you really don't want to mess up, and that's when they present you with this tiny piece of crap where you almost have to whip out the stylus unless you have little asian girl fingers!

Thanks!
