edit. crazy app guys, you can make numbers (and basically every symbol) with circling on a key anticlockwise. and customization of the numeric layout is planned as i understood it.

qwerty is like 200 years old, time to try something new my friends!

ive created a custom unexpected keyboard layout with this tool (bless this lixquid person and their family!)

its basically a copy of thumb key, which i love but could never use due its lack of customization.

as a complete noob i have a few questions and appreciate any help 💚

  • i dont want the default numeric layout how to delete it? now it gets activated in PIN situations. I only want my own 2 custom layouts.

  • is it possible to max out the “key repeat on long presses” after a character is typed 2 times? (german has an awful lot of double letters, that function would improve the keyboard a lot) (backspace should not be limited tho)

  • thumb key has this amazing “currency modifier” (e+modifier=€, s+modifier=$, y+modifier=¥ etc.) does unexpected keyboard have the same?

  • (not really important but) can i customize the emoji bar to remove the default bottom row and keep my most right column as it is now?

layout letters (updated)

    also what fucking cancer is github? apparently my account is “flagged”. i literary made one single “issue” before where simply i asked how to donate. now this trash company needs my phone number to allow me to contact the support or delete my account lol.

    anyway, if anyone has an account there, would be cool of you to comment the following (or something similar) on this issue:

    I agree that it’s a bit useless right now, but please consider removing it. Because auto-repetitions with a (custom) limit would be super cool. Certain languages contain countless words with double letters. Simple example: typing the word better equals touching the display 6 times. With the feature “key repeat on long press until the character is typed 2 times” it would just be 5 times.

      @birdcat they do this to all new accounts now, especially the mostly inactive ones. I think one way to get around the phone requirement is to use a proton email and setup 2FA immediately after creating the account. Then again, proton is flagging new accounts with signup confirmation emails too, so… yeah… leave github asap

        yea, i saw i need to enable 2fa it to contact the support, then i set up TOTP and a passkey. but they still “needed” a phone number for “my security”. and then even “needed” a phone number to contact support to ask them to delete my account, absolutely idiotic. had no idea that gituhub is so shitty cuz all the open source stuff is there.
