AVD hardware settings - keyboard

   After updating Eclipse ( Help Menu -> Check for Updates ) ,
running and debugging my application in the Android Virtual Device (AVD) was a nightmare :
   I couldn't use the computer keyboard anymore to enter data in my Android app;
( AVD's keyboard wasn't QWERTY ) ; Entering one digit number took 4 or 5 mouse-clicks :-(

No QUERTY AVD :

After adding hardware keyboard support , problem solved :
Hardware property = "Keyboard Support"
Value = "yes"
