It's not in the official guide, and I've yet to figure out how to do this. Is there a keystroke on an external keyboard that will trigger dictation?
I suppose if that isn't possible, the next best thing would be to "eject' the USB/bluetooth keyboard to bring up the virtual keyboard so that the dictation button can be hit. Does anyone know if there's a keystroke that can eject and later remount the external keyboard? It would obviously suck to have to go into settings to "forget" your keyboard, and then re-pair the device every time you wanted to use dictation.
I've got an Apple bluetooth keyboard and the button in the keyboard's upper-right corner ejects the device on my iPad, but has no effect when the keyboard's paired to my Nexus 7.

That's a good question, I would be curious how to do it also. I vaguely remember being able to change some of the key functions on your keyboard, to do other things, but for the life of me, I do not remember how, nor did Google give me any direction to prove that I am not crazy.
