https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key this can be pretty quick once you get used to it
I've been trying it out and I like it a lot! Haven't switched yet though.
Looks nice. Anyone good advice which layout to choose to type 60% German and 40% english? There are several german ones available.
No clue, sorry. Looking at the list, I'd go with "multilingual thumb-key" or just thumb-key. Messageease is the proprietary keyboard thumb key is based on, and I think more thought has been put into making even more optimized layouts for thumbkey, so I'd guess the messageease one is a bit outdated, and I think there might be a two hand mode that "type-split" is for but idk
thx for the background info. I'll try them.
I use the
deutsch symbols messageeaselayout as it's the only German layout with symbols on the main keyboard. There's alsodeutsch multilingual thumbkeyif you're fine with{``^etc. being on the numpad.Thanks. Deutsch multilingual thumb-keys has them, too.
i'm soo slow, typing this ;-)
Me too still. It gets better though.
OK, what if I just care for privacy and I'm happy with the QWERTY layout?
I'd love to ditch Gboard, but it has my language in it, plus word underline when misspelling words. I don't use predictive text or anything like that, just underline.
Alternatives?
Florisboard, openboard, anysoftkeyboard
Which of them offer spelling check underline?
Idk if that's a feature keyboards have or if it's more on the os side
Have no idea. I just know that Swift only does word suggestion, couldn't find an option to just underline words.
I've not tried Florisboard yet, but OpenBoard doesn't have it (neither in the main build nor forks from what I can tell) and nor is it available in AnySoftKeyboard's default install, but it's highly customizable so it may be an option there.
That said, isn't spellcheck underlining more frequently in the apps you're typing into rather than the virtual keyboard? Tbh I hadn't ever noticed it in Gboard before, but I haven't used it in a little while (though in looking into its settings I see it now, I guess I thought it'd been the other apps instead the whole time).
That is something that has always puzzled me, and yes, I believe you're right.
But, the confusing part for me is, Gboard has a spellcheck option, and if I disable it, it doesn't underline words when typing (in apps that normally check spelling).
But, let's take Jerboa for example. It doesn't work in Jerboa. No matter if enabled or disabled, there is no spellcheck in Jerboa, period.
And that is why things are confusing. Is it the apps that do the spellcheck or the keyboard 🤔.
For me, it would be logical if the keyboard does it (since it's software, you can easilly add this option), just reports back to the software whether it should underline the word or not. But I could be wrong about this since I'm not a dev.
You can enable spell check underline even for keyboards that don't have it, by changing which app it uses for spell checker specifically. In my case it's under Android settings >> System >> Languages & input >> Spell checker (under the Tools category), It might be different on your phone, in that case I guess you can just search for "Spell checker" and then u can use Gboard for spell checking for example.
That's just it. It's set to Gboard spell checker, but it doesn't work in Jerboa.
Yeah, I just tested it in Jerboa...I guess in some apps it just doesn't work, probably depending on how the text box is implemented in the app or something, I'm not sure.
I didn't have trouble with it so far because it has been working for all the apps that I use.
federation on my lemmy instance is broken, so this message will probably arrive very late
That is what puzzled me as well. It litelarly works in every other app, except Jerboa. In have no idea why, and I have asked this same question a few times here on Lemmy, but no one seems to know the answer.
Florisboard is nice.
