there are tons of keyboard apps on the android market free and paid. if you can't find them that's not our problem.

Swiftkey is the best one I have found

I saw swiftkey but it does not have a dedicated (dot)com key. Thanks for the suggestion. The only one I have seen is "slider" but the .com button seems to be only available for larger screens in landscape mode.

You can add the .com to the prediction and pretty much every time you type a web address it will bring up the .com in the suggestions above the keys.

Mine has the .com key right next to the spacebar I just noticed it

I use SwiftKey and if I type in a web address bar (dot) com is to the right of the space bar, if I type anywhere else the space bar gets bigger and takes its place.

Thanks I'll check swiftkey out. From the screenshots on the market it just looked like a plain jane keyboard.

Remember there is a short return period, so you can try it out.

I like SlideIt personally. It does most of the things Swype doesn't.

+ Installs on most anything
+ Add words on-demand, not without your consent
+ Remove any word
+ Acronym support
+ top-row suggestions
+ User-definable height
+ Works great with document suites (unlike Swype many times)
+ Doesn't hang the phone (unlike Ultimate Keyboard in my experience)
- Can't remember number passwords

it only has the .com when typing in the address bar. It is a nice keyboard and the predictive text is pretty good after several hours of useage.

Better Keyboard also has a dedicated .com key when typing in the address bar of the browser.

I like Swype, but it has just stopped functioning about once a week while entering text. Just freezes not accepting any input. I have to switch to Android then back to Swype to get it working again. Anyone else have this problem?

I did download Swift while it was an Amazon free app, but got so use to Swype I haven't really given it a try. Swype is real good at predicting .com, you can just start anywhere near the "." and pretty much swipe in the general direction of com, and .com will be entered. I can type faster with Swype than I can on my PC (I'm a 1 finger pecker)...

True, Swype is great for entering domain names... I actually love that you can swype word-by-word in address bars and it adds them all together without a space. (Thanks for reminding me TCAT.)

.com, .net, .org, .edu, probably all the big names can be done like that.
