The Android app requires me to press Return to enter a new task

I guess this is a feature request.

I am using a HTC Magic, which doesn't have a physical keyboard. The screen is pretty narrow so I always end up using it in landscape mode to type text.

In the RTM app, when I enter a new task, there is no on-screen button to add the task I am typing. I have to press the Return key on my virtual keyboard, and I get a notification that the new task has been created.

If I want to see my new task, in landscape mode at least, I have to close my virtual keyboard.

If I just want to type another task, I have to close my virtual keyboard, press the "Add task" area, and then my keyboard reappears.

I realise that these are partly limitations of the Android platform itself. However, it would be nice if :

1. The screen had a small Add button to the right of the Add Task area, like most other Android apps, so that I wouldn't have to press the Return key on my virtual keyboard, which just feels awkward;

2. Pressing the Return key allowed me to continue typing to create a second task.

(Note: I am using the app in French.)

Thanks!
