Offer Your Keyboard More Freedom by Undocking It

File under: News

There is a variety of native Windows Mobile Professional SIPs (Soft Input Panel): Keyboard, Transcriber, Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer and there are those implemented by manufacturers like HTC and others: Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY, Full QWERTY, etc.

What do all these have in common besides being all SIPs? They’re all docked on the bottom of the screen, so that if there’s something you would like to read and it is currently covered by the presently brought up SIP, you have to scroll down. Not anymore! Edit your registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\SIP and change the value of Dragstyle from 0 to 1, followed by a soft reset. The result can be seen in the image below, regardless of your favorite SIP, you now have the option to drag it anywhere on the screen (and off) by tapping and holding on the black band right on top of it and dragging and dropping it to your liking.
