Desktop IE + Keyboard?

[Riano]

Hey guys,

just one question: Is it possible, that the touch keyboard pops up automatically when using the internet explorer in desktop mode just like when using the "tablet mode"? I find it kind of annoying to always push the keyboad button..

thanks in advance

cheers

Desktop applications are not touch aware.

Although there's no way to do this, you can map a custom gesture to show the keyboard to make your life a little easier.
Try downloading TouchMe Gesture Studio from the Store. You can use it to configure custom swipe gestures to navigate back/forward, switch tabs, etc...

Also, when Windows 9 comes out you can use Metro IE in windowed mode, which could be a good replacement for desktop IE altogether.
