		+	-- Is there a possibility to write a HIM plugin, which switches the HIM-UI to landscape and full-screen mode? Then one can write a plugin with a "inputline"-text-field and more space for the letter-keys. Also I think a keyboard with only letters and numbers and special chars on a extra page would be good. In the end it would look like the keyboard used in SHR except it is in landscape and full-screen mode.
