It doesn't have to be. I actually use a custom onscreen keyboard that just shows special characters that aren't on the keyboard.

But you can just as easily tell the phone to hide the onscreen keyboard if the physical one is attached. Just a checkbox that needs to be toggled.

What software is driving that custom on screen keyboard? I think it's brilliant!

It's called Gr8ly. It's not perfect, but it does the job.

I really wish it was possible to hide the bottom row of the custom keyboard, since it serves no purpouse in my use case.
