    Whoa nice job! You’re way ahead of me, and I made the thing lol. I’m maxing out at about 38 wpm right now.

    What’s the key grid size you use? I’d also like your input from fast typers as to improvements.

      I’m using it with the keygrid size at 75 (long fingers) The app’s been pretty solid for me, though I do miss some features from other keyboards:

      -Undo/redo swipes (like when you accidentally delete selected text, you can undo it)

      -Built-in clipboard history would be very useful to me

      -Swipe to move cursor with spacebar like openboard

      -Swipe with backspace to select text

      -Copy swipe for selected text, already have paste swipe

      -The settings button could become a swipe, I occasionally accidentally press it when I type without looking which is a little annoying

      -Some more common punctuation in empty swipe spots would be good instead of having to go to numpad or tapping space. It would also make monkeytype quotes faster since they use alot of punctuation.

      Other than that I’m really enjoying using it and am getting alot faster. Thank you for the app!

        I’ll have to test out some of those other keyboard swipes to see how they work. A few people opened up issues for them tho.

        Some of these are def worth adding. Glad you’re liking it so far!

        Are you used to AnySoftKeyboard? We share quite a lot of similar grievances.

          I went from Gboard > Openboard > AnySoftKeyboard > Florisboard Beta > and now Thumb-key

    What layout are you using? I want to like the Thumb-Key English layout, but from just a little experience, it feels like the old MessageEase layout lends itself better to combos where a tap/swipe digraph are close together…

      I’ve been using the Thumb-key English layout, although I do think MessageEase probably had more feedback and development on their layout.
