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)

    @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
