Left-handed Layouts

Would it be possible, that someone can either

adapt the German messagease layouts and create “messagease left-handed” and “symbols messagease left-handed”, or
direct me to instructions on how to change/create layouts myself?

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks! I just found the necessary information on github and should be able to implement it on my own. I don’t suppose that there is a way to test the new layouts on my own from within the app?

  No, not from within the app.

About

Thumb-Key is a privacy-conscious smart keyboard, made specifically for your thumbs.

It features a 3x3 grid layout, as many older phones had, and uses swipes for the less common letters. Initial testing shows that you can reach ~25 words per minute after a day of use.

Instead of relying on profit-driven, privacy-offending word and sentence prediction for accuracy, as do most popular phone keyboards like Gboard and Swiftkey, Thumb-Key uses large keys with predictable positions, to prevent your eyes from hunting and pecking for letters.

As the key positions get ingrained into your muscle memory, eventually you’ll be able to appromixate the fast speeds of touch-typing, your eyes never having to leave the text edit area.

This project is a follow-up to the now unmaintained (and closed-source) MessageEase Keyboard, which is its main inspiration.
