Google keyboard just got usable again.
>>54594169
When was it not usable?
>broke flat style keyboard
no thanks
What was it before?
No it didn't
>>54594179
>>54594182
In previous version you couldn't turn on the symbols on the letter keys.
>>54594253
Wasn't that update a bit over last week?
>>54594169
What's the best keyboard for android? I hate the standard Google one.
>>54594169
>still no fucking arrow keys
>usable
>>54594290
literally why
>>54594281
"perfect keyboard free", literally
>>54594260
I dunno, it only got updated today in here.
>>54594299
correcting shit in blocks of text, because touch-cursoring is a fucking PITA
>>54594281
Google keyboard 5.0 is objectively the best.
>>54594290
>swipe left and right on the sacecbar
No need to waste space on extra keys
>>54594290
just slide the spacebar
>>54594290
You can slide the space key.
>>54594290
>not having arrow keys on the nav bar
shig
>>54594323
>>54594322
>>54594316
It's just not the same.
>>54594333
>using navbar
>>54594316
>>54594322
>>54594323
Is this a new feature in OP's update because I cant
>>54594337
>not having a physical keyboard
>>54594339
You have to turn it on in the settings
>>54594169
Does it still detect presses on buttons when you touch area inbetween buttons?
I hate that shit.
>>54594339
check out the gesture typing options should be in there
should turn on by default
>>54594339
>Google keyboard just got usable again.
>just
What the fuck do you think, numbnuts?
>>54594353
honestly most of /g/ is fully retarded.
>>54594349
If you somehow manage to tap that <1mm space between the keys, nothing happens. Just tested it.
>>54594353
This thread is about the option to show symbol keys on the main keyboard, not the ability to swipe on the space bar which may or may not have been there before
You mean the google keylogger? Why would anyone use that and here of all places is beyond me. Fucking plebs
>>54594390
>microg
>afwall
It can't send shit back to google's servers if it wants to tbqh
>>54594384
It's a new feature in 5.x so it is relevant.
Holy balls, this is actually a significant improvement over the old one
>>54594390
>what is turning share usage snippets off
>>54594373
Thank god. Hopefully they update the Japanese keyboard soon.
>>54594169
>no numpad
>usable
>>54594445
..
How do you change between typonyms when using gesture typing?
One handed mode is goat
>>54594445
There is one tho.
Now the last thing it's missing is the ability to use multiple language dictionaries simultaneously. The only reason I still prefer Swiftkey.
Swiftkey has this fucking annoying bug the devs don't seem toncare about. Sometimes when you put a point at the end of a sentence it doubles the last word and if you delete it it just doubles it again. Drives me fucking nuts.
>>54594169
how do i make it look like that?
>>54594755
Settings > appearance
I discovered a major flaw for 4chan users tho, you can't easily access the ">" symbol which sucks.
>>54594772 (me)
Whereas on SwiftKey you just have to long press i.
No dictionary or mixing of letter/characters still? Fuck off
>>54594772
Thanks
>>54594856
What do you mean?
One handed mode is actually pretty usable.
Can they just remove the fucking voice symbol. I keep hitting that when I mean to press send.
>inb4 fat fingers
>>54594916
For that you have to disable voice input in the general Android settings. Which should be disabled anyway unless youre one of them weirdo who talk to their phones.
>>54594253
did they finally add that shit?
I was still using the Jelly Bean keyboard as a resort.
This is a legit huge improvement what the shit
>>54594281
hackers' keyboard
>>54594983
Yes. I switched to Swiftkey for the same reason tbqh.
>>54594322
>been using android for years
>didn't know this
why don't they put arrows on it? would it ruin the AESTHETICS too much?
(in my defense, my first android phone had a physical touch/trackball thing that provided cursor key inputs, so i used that)
>>54594281
Minuum.
>>54595045
It was just added in the latest version a week ago.
>>54595045
Because it's a new feature.
>>54595045
That's because it's new.
Don't the keyboard show off the new stuff after the update? I'm pretty sure it did on mine.
>>54595063
>>54595064
i see, don't feel as silly now
>>54595069
i don't use the google keyboard anymore, but rather hackers keyboard (which has separate cursor keys)
>>54594281
Swype, best gesture typing and best design. Everything else is second best.
>>54594181
You can disable key boarder, it's flat.
>>54594169
I always download the jellybean keyboard because everything else is just shit.
>>54595474
I like it with borders. Without borders it just seems like a bunch of letter thrown into an empty space.
1-finger slide keyboard master race
>>54594316
>>54594322
>>54594323
That's for changing the input language. What, do you think everyone only writes English?
>>54596634
you have to long press space to change language, or press the button right next to it, not slide it.
![swype-apk[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/jNgguHZ.jpg "swype-apk[1].jpg")
Does any other keyboard have a select all, cut and paste function? With Swype it's a simply swipe from the Settings key to a, x or v
Pretty damn useful and though the keyboard itself isn't all too great anymore, that alone keeps me using it
>>54594316
>>54594322
>>54594323
nope, for some reason that only moves the cursor to the right, never left, no matter what i do
>Usable
WTF
>Forcing emojis into the keyboard
FUCKING DROPPED
What are some good alternatives?
>>54598286
lurk the fucking thread before asking dumbass
>>54598484
Hi, can you, yes you, personally give me some Android keyboard recommendations?
Thanks.
:'( :-* :-! :O :'( :O :-! :-P :'( :O :-)

>using the smiley with a dash nose
>using the smiley with a apostrophe nose
>>54596734
Minuum. It also has scarily accurate word correction. It even accounts for extra/missing letters.
>google keyboard
Not even once
>>54594169
>still no meme arrows in the first character set
>>54598747
this desu
moot sort this shit out
Does anybody here know the answer to this question?
>>54597006
>>54598554
>>54598594
>dash nose
aah, an oldfag.
how're you holding, sir?
>>54598782
next or previous word?
>>54598649
Wow, that actually looks comfy af
>>54598782
In which texts do they appear? I can't get them to show up.
I'd think it's next/previous character tho.
>>54599279
They advertise their meme "one row" mode(hence the name) that relies solely on prediction
, and emojis. Don't use them. Copy pasting is in bonus panels, pick what you need in extra settings.
>>54599334
Here's how it looks. Surprisingly, it even somewhat works.
>>54599279
>"af"
kill yourself
>>54599364
Now that's retarded but the full panel mode looks okay.
Not sure if the copy/paste buttons are worth it.
>>54598649
>>54599364
Thanks mate, I'll check it out
Not sure I'm really fond of giving those features a dedicated row, but it might actually prove to be more useful that way
I wanna breed
Is there a way to remove the Tab key that's next to the spacebar in Hacker's Keyboard? It's the only gripe I have with it
>>54598835
>>54599324
Anon asking the question here. I think I've figured it out. It functions like a tab key, moving your cursor to the next or previous text field. It doesn't work perfectly, but you can try it out in email.
>>54599397
I personally use it for correction(not a native speaker, keep forgetting words) but "select all" is insanely useful. The other 3 buttons are cut, copy and paste. Here are the other bonus panels, they all occupy one row and you change them by swiping.
What I miss the most from cyangenmod is the volume button cursor moving.
I don't understand why that isn't standard. I mean how many times do you actually want to change volume while typing?
>>54599550
What's stopping you from using CM? Got memed on and bought a locked down piece of shit?
>>54594281
>What's the best keyboard for android?
Modularity and performance wise, multiling o keyboard. Learning curve is slightly steep at first, but it's the lightest and most modular there is.
>>54594281
Stock CyanogenMod keyboard.
>>54594169
>qwerty

>>54599598
CM doesn't officially support my phone, and I'm not willing to put some furry's from XDA rom on my phone.
Is there a mechanical keyboard app?
>>54594169
>design is beautiful again
>swipe spacebar scrolls through text
>swipe backspace higlights text
>there is no keyboard app that competes in the functionality department
Why would you use anything else?
>Swiftkey
bloated
>Swype
unstable
>flesky
lacks features
>chrooma
see all of the above
>>54599711
You are aware officially supported phones have "maintainers" that are the very same furries and pajeets(usually exactly same, as they also keep xda threads), right? It's not making it any worse, on the contrary, they try harder because they use that phone themselves.
>>54599715
Apple already has a patent on that. They don't know how to make one yet but if you were to release a phone with mechanical virtual keyboard, you'd get your ass sued and they'd won.
>>54599798
>Swype
>Unstable
Since when
>>54594169
How do you remove the fucking emoji cancer?
I cant install swiftkey on cm13
>>54600015
You can't. You also don't have to use it. It also isn't that visible.
>it takes 3 buttons to write ">"
Fuck this tbqh.
Does Minuum has Swype typing ?
>>54599405
Anyone?
>>54595061
This
>>54599334
>>54599364
>>54599389
It actually works perfectly once you get used to it
>>54598817
These are the smileys that come with Google Keyboard
Now it is better than windows phone/apple
>>54594169
You can't blindtype? Kid's those days,,,
I can't figure out a way to quickly add words to the personal dictionary for Google keyboard. It implies that it'll automatically pick up on words that it doesn't recognize and add them to my personal dictionary but it doesn't seem to work. The only way is to go into settings and add them manually, which is pretty clunky.
>>54604134
Can't you click on the word as it appears in the word suggestion row?
>>54604134
I don't know if this works on your phone, but clicking on the unknown word on my screen drops down this menu.
This new skin is shit how the fuck do I go back REEEEEE
New update broke vol-up and vol-dn controls in terminal emulator.
>multiple languages
>still needs to toggle in between
Only reason swiftkey is better desu
>>54602912
Nice apostrophe, cunt face.

>>54595509
>empty space
luel whets minimalism derrrr
This thread is so last week
Fucking normies
How do you use the one-handed mode?
I just use google keyboard because swiftkey, while miles better, is laggy and takes a few seconds to show up
also ram monster
>>54596734
Does the keyboard still crash when you hover a stylus or mouse cursor over it? The swiping algorithm is better than Google's but I have a sinking feeling Swype has some seriously shitty code under the hood.
>>54606577
Can't say I've tried honestly.
I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case, but it works decently enough on my devices I find. It turned to shit on my XPlay though.
Best keyboard I have used on Android so far. Nearly as good as the iOS keyboard which is one of the things I miss about an iPhone
Feels comfy on Nexus 6
>>54594169
It's still shit compared to swiftkey.
>>54606518
Hold down enter key, click one handed icon
Also swipe left from delete key to delete whole words
Swipe space bar to move cursor
Drag suggested words up to delete from the library
>>54594946
>[current year]
>Not talking to your phone.
>>54604615
>>54604958
Unfortunately the option just isn't there for me for whatever reason. I love the keyboard otherwise.
>>54596734
That's what I miss the most from swype.
Sadly they suck at everything else, so I'll keep using SwiftKey.
>>54606804
I don't know, I've tried SwiftKey but from a quick play around don't see any real advantages so have stuck with Swype. I don't really think it's that shit
Anyone else uses the best skin for the best keyboard?
One handed typing oh man this is good
>>54607180
What lengths people go to make their meme phablets usable.
>>54598717
Those keys are hideous
It's got the numbers on the top and doesn't fuck up my swipes anymore. Glorious day.
I don't need squares around letters to type, it's literally just visual effect. Are you a granny?
>>54595008

>>54610971
