add option to force fullscreen mode

[tychol]

On small screens (320x240) pan and scan or resize mode for an IME almost never makes sense. On these devices, it is better to use fullscreen mode for IME, because then it is much easier to enter a few rows of text and edit them. With the other methods, the text input fields always end up being very small so they can only contain one or two words at a time, which is very hard to navigate. Hence, it would be nice to have a Force Fullscreen flag in the configuration.

Cyril will say it is the OS that does that not the keyboard. I have the same QVGA screen and I stopped prediction and made keyboard with less height so I can see more space. The disadvantage is that buttons are smaller, but if you want more accurate typing just turn it landscape.

@Proximo: Not true. The OS asks the IME (the keyboard) how it wants to be displayed. See http://developer.android.com/resources/ ... nputs.html.

Actually the option you want already exists: it's "portrait fullscreen"

You are right, it works. Don't know how I managed to miss it. Thanks!
