Toggling Automatically Between Input Methods with a Bluetooth keyboard

[onsomethinguk]

Hi All.
I have a Bluetooth keyboard for my Tab, which requires that the stock keyboard is selected. However, I prefer Swiftkey for my on screen keyboard. Is there an app that will automatically switch between them on connection and disconnection? I've looked at a few automation apps on the market but haven't found anything suitable.

Any of you lovely people got any suggestions?

Good question, I also would like this.

You would think the bluetooth software would do this, instead of putting up warning messages, wouldn't you!

Yes, doesn't seem very logical by samsung... Maybe use tasker on the market will give option to switch? I can't test on my tab atm as I'm getting my cracked screen replaced.

Alas there is no option in Tasker. Anyone out there fancy creating an app?

Dang, I was really hoping that would work... As you said we might need a custom app

I'm using "null keyboard" with mine, gives you a blank kb and has a widget to change input. No sense in having a kb take up half the screen if you're usin a bt kb.
