Another thread has reminded me...
My work Samsung S4 is much more powerful, and bigger, than my own HTC Desire C, but I find the latter much easier to type on due to its keyboard. The HTC's default layout combines letters and symbols on the same keyboard eg. you want a hyphen, you hold down the N key; I very rarely have to switch to one of the other layouts.
But on the Samsung, the only symbol you get on the default layout is a full stop; you can't even get a comma without holding down the full stop to bring up the punctuation selection box and selecting from that. It's a (relative) PITA.
Am I missing something? And if not, can anyone recommend an app that will give me an HTC-like keyboard on my Samsung?

Your sammy is displaying the standard Android keyboard. The HTC one is tweaked. Loads of alternate keyboards on the play store. try any one there you like.

Thanks. I couldn't configure the first 2 as HTC-like, but the 3rd looks more promising, albeit a bit buggy - holding a letter key down sometimes displays the associated symbol, sometimes doesn't. I'll stick with it for a while and see how it goes.
The pop-up warning that non-standard keyboards can record all your keystrokes is also a bit worrying, although the ones I've tried say they don't. So that's ok :)
