  1. @mekeor @Atemu Thanks for the tip!

    The #UnexpectedKeyboard f-droid.org/packages/juloo.key looks like an interesting alternative to the #HackersKeyboard f-droid.org/en/packages/org.po .

    Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work for me. The QWERTY (US) layout doesn't have an ALT key like it does on the screenshot, which makes it pretty much useless for #Emacs 😢

    I tried a custom layout, but the ALT modifier still doesn't show up. Maybe it's a #GrapheneOS quirk, but I doubt it. There is an ALT on the number layout

    In cases like this, a physical keyboard or #hackerskeyboard can come in handy because the tab key works in Android.

    Ich hatte hier mal einen kleinen Überblick gemacht zum Thema Tastaturen aus #fdroid: gnulinux.ch/alternative-tastat…
    (siehe auch Ergänzungen in den Kommentaren)
    Mein persönlicher Favorit für Tablets ist #HackersKeyboard .
  6. ⌨️ 👀 Augen auf bei der Tastatur-Wahl: F-Droid bietet zahlreiche Alternativen + Erfahrungen & Empfehlungen?
    Custom ROMs haben in der Regel die Android-Tastatur des „Android Open Source Projects“ (AOSP) als Voreinstellung. Die häufigsten Tastatur-Apps, die jedoch auf Geräten mit Stock-Android vorinstalliert sind, sind „Swiftkey“ von Microsoft bzw. „Gboard“ von Google. „Sowohl SwiftKey als auch Gboard haben Zugriff zum Internet. Sie stehen im Verdacht, Nutzer*innendaten an ihre Hersteller zu versenden.“ (mobilsicher.de) Darüber hinaus genehmigen sich diese Tastatur-Apps oft unnötig viele Berechtigungen wie den Zugriff auf Kalender, Kontakte und Gerätestandort.

    Doch nicht verzagen! Es gibt so einige Alternativen.
    Ich habe in diesem kleinen Artikel ein paar ausgewählte alternative Tastatur-Apps kurz vorgestellt: #AnySoftKeyboard, #OpenBoard und #HackersKeyboard.

  7. @ParadeGrotesque perhaps, though that didn't stop me from chatting on #IRC via a remote #WeeChat over #SSH for years 😅
    #HackersKeyboard, or a physical (external) keyboard to recuperate a large portion of screen estate, helps a lot though.
    I still miss affordable phones with a built-in physical keyboard...

    #Unicode has entire blocks dedicated to #subscript and #superscript forms of characters: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_
    On #Android with #GBoard it's as easy as holding the number characters to pop up its superscript form; at least for the first four: ¹²³⁴
    #HackersKeyboard also supports this on some layouts.

    Alternatively use lingojam.com/SuperscriptGenera to convert normal text to superscript.

  9. @lj_writes
    That's actually one thing I like better about an #OnScreenKeyboard as used on #Android, such as #gBoard and #HackersKeyboard: easier and more logical access to accented characters and symbols.

    Though I wish those layouts were more easily modified than modifying the source code and rolling your own APK, so I could add my own symbols to the long-press alternatives.

  10. @redandgreen14 I'd like to add some more recommendations:
    - #conversations Great XMPP app with really good UX. Replaces services like whatsapp for me
    - #BarcodeScanner for scanning QR Codes (e.g. for wifi profiles)
    - #Termux basically a GNU/Linux system in a app - use it for remoting into my server from time to time
    - #HackersKeyboard Keyboard with buttons like Esc (for Termux)
    - #dsub #ampache client with offline cache

    other stuff I use has been recommended by somebody else already
