Ginger666What is a good keyboard for android?
DessalinesHere’s one I made, called Thumb-Key. No internet permissions, made to be private.
I use this after messagease suddenly decided to charge a subscription fee.
It’s pretty darn close in functionality. Highly recommend taking the time to learn it.
Thx! Ya the main reason I made it, was because messagease development died, and all my emails to the messagease team (their only contact email) went unanswered for like 2+ years. So it seemed like a good opportunity to do a from-scratch open source rewrite.
I actually forked your code so I could customize the keyboard a little bit. I was impressed that I didn’t have any problems building the thing right away. Doesn’t always happen for me with open source projects.
One thing that was driving me nuts was how sensitive the swipe gestures on the spacebar are. I guess my thumbs always do a slight swipe when I’m pressing space and it was moving the cursor position on me. I wiped out all of that code. If you’re taking suggestions, a way to disable swipe gestures on the spacebar would be a cool add. I’ll see if I can get together a PR for it as well and be a part of the solution.
Sure, I’d accept a PR for adding a setting to disable all spacebar swipes.
Darn it, I popped into this thread to suggest Thumb-Key, and was beaten to it by the maker of the keyboard!
Thank you for making my phone usage much faster and enjoyable (written using Thumb-Key of course!) :)
Thank you for making this!
I really need to try making something for Android, looks like fun
I appreciate that it’s made for my thumbs as opposed to other, less keyboard optimal digits.
Hey! I tried your keyboard out when I was setting up my new phone - very cool and innovative idea!
