Sounds great. Stupid question, but is it possible to use a soft keyboard while in text mode?

Not sure if you mean the microsoft surface keyboard or an onscreen keyboard. I don't use the ms keyboard covers at all, haven't even purchased one (mechanical usb keyboards instead). I know there have been issues running the surface pro keyboards under linux, but don't know the current status.
On screen keyboards seem to work fine but I haven't put much effort into configuring, just tested.
If I didn't answer your question, feel free to ping me on email. There's a non trivial amount of tweaking I did to make this thing run the way I want.
