Simple Kotlin keyboard app for Amazfit Stratos|Verge|Pace.
No autocomplete, only English, Russian and Ukrainian languages(it's very easy to add new one, look into res/xml/number_pad_* and MainActivity.keyMaps. Pull requests appreciated. You can also ask me to add new language in the next update), all dimensions are hardcoded, no way to set as default keyboard (works basically with AmazMod).
Main features:
Choose languages in launcher
Swipe up - special symbols keyboard
Swipe down - hide keyboard silently(without Enter signal)
Swipe right - move cursor or space
Swipe left - move cursor
Tap text preview with green region to close keyboard with enter signal (for example, search something in xbrowser)
Tap red region to close keyboard without enter signal
Press and hold green or red region to hide keyboard silently
Press and hold text while keyboard is closed to move cursor
Tap shift/globe button - caps lock
Press and hold shift/globe button - change language
Touch "0" one time for "space" or use special symbols menu with separate holdable space button
Press and hold button with number to quickly type it

Hey, thanks for the kind words, I'll look into it tomorrow, but can you provide t9 example for your language in order to it be usable?

Thanks for the reply!
I have been using this app the whole day and must say this app should be one of the must-have APKs to our watch, alongside with Amazmod and Greatfit.
Nice job!
As an improvement, It is possible to make the first letter in the sentence an auto caps? Also, the same applies to the first letter after a dot (.).
Unfortunate, I searched around and could not find a image of T9 Portuguese keyboard to show you ):
But I will try to explain the differences the best way I can with my limited english. Please let me know if I could not express myself clear enough. I will try best next time.
Here it goes:
The Brazilian Portuguese Keyboard uses almost the exactly same letters and symbols than in english keyboard. And in the same position too.
In addition, we have the following letters: Á, Ã, É, Ê, Í, Ó, Õ Ú, Ç
The biggest difference, as you can see, is that we use accents in the vowels in certain words. And we have the addition of Ç
For that fact, some T9 keyboard make the the "number 2" button as follows: "ABC", and when you long press the button, it show the alternate letter: Á, Ã, Ç.
The same goes for the button 3 (DEF), when you long press it, it show the alternate letter: É, Ê
When you long press Button 4 (GHI), it shows Í
When you long press Button 6 (MNO) it shows Ó Õ
When you long press Button 8 (TUV), it show Ú
That's abou it.
And, finally, some T9 Keyboards put all those alternate letter in the symbol category. In that case, they could be accessibly by swapping UP, just like you did with the symbol options.
So both option explained above would work great for our language.
Please let me know if I can help with more information.
Obrigado.

Hi,
Have a little problem with my dual. Or maybe I simple don't know.
When I want to write sms I see "touch keyboard" input is 2 letters on 1 button. But when I in file explorer for expl. I'm using "touch keyboard" input with 1 letter on button.
How could I fix it? bicause when I'm writing sms I want to see every letter on different button but I can't do that because I have to use only metod with 2 letters on button
Thanx
Sorry for my poor English
Htc Touch Dual
this is not the problem
u can see teh 1 botton keyboard only on some applications like contacts but when you try to make a new sms or email you can see the 2 or 3 botton keyboard nothing can change that unless someone here in the forum will have a tool or reg fix for it
gd luck

i would really like to have the 1 button keyboard as my only soft keyboard for ALL applications. does anyone know a way to imply this?
thanks a lot.
Or modified keyboard
Or possibly modify the touch keyboard so that the full stop & comma are on the 1st page of symbols & the word select area is more finger friendly?
Try the keyboard TouchPal ...is free to use and is great for oane hand use of the phone. I write SMS with it even when driving...
here it is : http://www.cootek.com/
don't know if this helps and if it sets the keyboard to default, but if you press on the little "upper arrow" on the right side to the "20", you can change the kind of keyboard used by the application
I like to have this keyboard too...
Hi,
whenever i use the hard keyboard, that stupid little language bar pops up on the bottom. I always press the eng button by accident and change the language.
How can I get rid of it without, losing softkeys on portrait mode and the symbol function.
thanks!
Ray
The only way I know to get rid of the language bar is to install another keyboard, but you lose the symbol function. Check this thread out for a great alternative, the keyboard linked includes an auto-correction for the physical keyboard, which in my opinion, is a brilliant addition as well as easily accessed symbols.
really?
so theres no way to type underscore "_" in landscape mode?
I suppose if you were desperate you could leave the default text input active and switch to it from the HTC keyboard when you wanna use an underscore. Although that's a little tedious lol.
That sucks...
Thanks anyway

Hi,
I guess, you can do it by :
Settings> Locale & text> Un-checking "DEFAULT INPUT"
Hassan
Yes, we know that, but if i do that, I won't be able to type _ anymore.
Lol cant u close the phone and do undetscore thru one of the side sliders of th portrait keyboard.. how lame sony have been with minor amazingly annoying smart ( or dumb lol) phone issues on th xperia range. Iv had th original x1 then x10 m pro and overall pleased with both. Its just th connectivity/compatabillity that's gettin on my goose...
sent from my rebelliousN1
Yes I can, but in the process of doing so, i might press something else and changed the language to estonian or something. It's a great phone, but these small details annoy me. Crapy contact dialer and crappy symbol keys.
hi people
was just typing an email earlier and i realised that the @ button is in the wrong place. when i press [email protected] i get a " instead, these two keys seem to be in the wrong position. i was just wondering if this is same on all the keyboards and if it can be corrected.
thanks

...that's just the british keyboard layout lol.
Go into settings, select language and input, then double check everything is set correctly to your local language.
This issue occurs if you have the incorrect language setup, for instance in the UK if you set it to 'English (United States)" then you get the @ when you press shift 2 instead of getting a ".
Also make sure you actually select the ASUS keyboard as the current one.
If you select a different keyboard (like Thumbkeyboard or Swype) the virtual keylayout will reset to en_US.
See my thread here for a permanent fix for this issue.

This is actually the solution for your "problem".

Hello everybody,
This seems to be a very stupid question but while I was writting a message, I really needed a very common character in my language ("é", an "e" with an accent) and I wasn't able to find it on the digital keyboard : it doesn't appear when I touch the "Shift" key or the "123?" key (even when I touched the arrows to see the different available characters).
What did I miss ?
Thank you for your answers

How about when you press and hold e?
Ok, thank you, I never tried to hold a key on the keyboard : it makes this special character appears :victory:.
I have the new keyboard book cover with my Tab s4. The input language is set to UK but keys like the pound sign and @ sign are not mapped to the appropriate keys. Is there a driver issue or am I missing something?
Thanks
I don't see that issue here, but I'm English US on my end. I did switch to UK English, and I see what you're saying that's odd. I kind of understand the pound (# vs £), but the @ issue seems super strange to me. Have you reached out to Samsung? There might need to be some kind of software update from their end.
For that matter, I hope they drop the "Shift+Space" for language selection. There's already a language key, so aside from it being pointless, it messes me up a lot when I don't let go of Shift fast enough after typing "I". I thought I was going crazy for a bit until I figured that out. lol
I assume the book cover is the original one from Samsung so in order to set up the proper layout check the settings "General management / Language and input/ language/ English (united kingdom)" that the language is English (United Kindgom). Also, go to the physical keyboard "General management / Language and input/ language/Physical Keyboard/ Samsung Keyboard (Uk)". That's the way I have it and works flawlessly. Let me know if that works.
I thought this thread was about actual key remapping. I'd love to remap that language key to something more useful, like getting to the home screen. I'd also like to remap the language shortcut, ctrl+space. And lastly, I keep hitting ] instead of backspace, and it's driving me nuts. Any idea if these keys are remappable?
This app might help, there's a free demo version.
