I just re-booted my device and I went to type with the touch-screen keyboard in Portrait and my "Direct Typing" keyboard is gone.
When I go to "Typing Options" in "Portrait Keyboard" I only have a choice for "predictive" or "multi-tap". I had always used "Direct Typing" before I did this re-boot.
Anyone else have this happen and does anyone know how to get back the "direct typing" keyboard in touchscreen/portrait?
I found the answer so I'll post it in case anyone else has this happen.
After the re-boot I did not have the direct typing keyboard option in Portrait.
I got it back by going to Options>Typing and Input>Keyboard>Portrait Keyboard Type>Set this option to "FULL" and my Direct Typing keyboard in Portrait was back! (Somehow the Portait Keyboard Type got set to "Reduced" during the re-boot.)
