imikotoba 🏴❤️🇯🇵@thumbkey Looking at #ThumbKey with interest - has anyone got it to work on #SailfishOS yet?
Any thoughts on iOS options? Is #WurstFinger https://github.com/cl445/wurstfinger worth a try while waiting for my preordered #Jolla phone?

Par simple curiosité, je me demandais si ease (équivalent à messagEase/Thumb-key) fonctionnait avec SailfishOS 5.
La réponse est : malheureusement non :/
Si je bascule dessus, le clavier disparaît.

Édit : la version de @pherjung fonctionne sans souci avec SailfishOS 5.0.0.73 https://openrepos.net/content/pherjung/sailease
patacusloEn mi búsqueda del teclado perfecto, me fuí a #Fdroid y me descargué #ThumbKey, teclado #opensource enfocado en la privacidad, y distribución de teclas orientada a móviles.
Es una maravilla. Rápido acceso a las letras, deshacer, rehacer, cortar, copiar, pegar, seleccionar, etc. Caracteres especiales, símbolos, acentos y diéresis: todos accesibles de forma fácil, rápida y lógica.
También tiene posibilidad de utilizar la barra espaciadora como panel táctil para desplazarse por el texto. O como flecha atrás/adelante para avanzar o retroceder con un carácter por vez.
Una curva de aprendizaje cortita, porque todas las teclas son muy visibles.
Así que es lo que tengo instalado ahora. Super recomendable.

ToldryHaptic question
Haptic question - Lemmy.World
I’m thinking of implementing a new feature for Thumb-Key: richer haptic feedback that will make it easier for users to blind-type. While reviewing the current places where Thumb-Key already performs haptic feedback, I noticed something strange. When doing a long-press gesture, there are two moments of haptic feedback. First is when the finger initially touches the keyboard key, and second when enough time has passed for the press gestured to be registered as a long press. The second haptic feedback is noticeably stronger than the first. However, as far as I can tell, both events call the exact same function with the same parameter for both events: kotlin view.performHapticFeedback(HapticFeedbackConstants.KEYBOARD_TAP) So how come the second feedback is stronger than the first? ---- Here [https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key/blob/afd66d537edb5732b375653b885d911bc28dd3bc/app/src/main/java/com/dessalines/thumbkey/ui/components/keyboard/KeyboardKey.kt#L192] is the code for initial press. And here [https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key/blob/afd66d537edb5732b375653b885d911bc28dd3bc/app/src/main/java/com/dessalines/thumbkey/ui/components/keyboard/KeyboardKey.kt#L277] is the code for the long press.
JdeBPQuick suggestion, based upon having to explain to a relative that this was computer programmer jargon and did not have any connection to any ordinary meaning of the word 'toast':
Change 'show toast on layout switch' to something like 'display the layout names when switching layouts'.

I've seen it at work several times in my career.
Unlike the relative, I recognized that this was jargon and knew where to look the jargon up.

The setting actually is not actually developer oriented. It's aimed, like the "hide letters" setting, at people who know the tool and who can (or at least want to) get by without the visual aids.
It's even something that I've directly experienced. Change layout multiple times to get to the desired point in the layout loop, and the names of all of the layouts passed through take significant time to all, one by one, flash on screen and disappear.

Thumb-Key installed on a relative's 'phone. I didn't enable anything fancy, or enable the #MessageEase compatibility layouts. But I was explicitly asked to install Spanish and French alongside English.
I made the relative make the layout switching gesture multiple times, so that it stuck. Otherwise I knew what the first panicked 'phone call would be.
First panicked 'phone call: all of the letters have disappeared from the keyboard.
There is a setting in the Thumb-Key settings called "Hide letters", and it had been switched on.

There's another option called 'show toast' and is a prime example of programmers writing for programmers instead of for users. 'toast' is specialized Android developer jargon. Users won't know that it means showing the layout names for a brief period when one switches layouts. They'll be wondering what the Hell bread has to do with a keyboard.
