Hi!

I’ve (already) opened the issue on GitHub and that can/should be kept for the final technical specs.

https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key/issues/602

I’d like to open the thread here to work out and discuss any details.

The layout would use the full width and is suited for two-hand typing:

Some of my immediate questions would be:

  • Does this fit the idea behind the ThumbKey app? It is for thumb typing, after all.
  • How to get a good layout? The hype is on AI but people have been doing this through trial and error for a while now.

    Perhaps we could use the idea behind the two-hand layouts and have two identical 3x3 grids. However, this layout is having the last column squashed on my phone and is not that practical. I think we could remove the middle row to gain space. There are only 2 keys in the middle row that are actually useful. The third - backspace - is completely redundant as it appears three times on the screen. Reducing Space to 2 slots would also provide one extra slot.
