I’ve looked at a few on fdroid and they all seem like they aren’t being maintained anymore.

Edit: I’ve spent the past day trying most all of the suggested keyboards here and I think I’ve landed on either Unexpected Keyboard or AnySoftKeyboard. Thanks for all the suggestions. Thumbkey is quite the thing to get used to.

I think if you read the github description, you’ll find that conflicts with the philosophy. Would be a nice option, though

Yeah that’s what I suspected but I thought I’d bring it up just in case it was a planned feature or I was just missing some configuration option.

Yes, please. I’m still using MessagEase. I want to like thumbkey, but it’s missing a few features that are already implemented in MessagEase. Long pressing for numerals is another feature I miss.

Hey, thumb-key is really cool! I’ve been using it for a bit and it has solved my issue of constantly fat-fingering wrong letters into what I’m trying to type on other keyboards. I just want to say thanks for developing it and keep up the good work!

I had to Google that and my God it looks difficult. I was going to say try Dvorak, simplest answer to his question I think.
