Letters are invisible for me. Numbers show as normal. Tried changing theme and color, clearing cache, restarting app and phone.

Android 15

Fairphone 6 with e/Os 4.0-a15-20260610633983-official-FP6

In the app settings "look and feel" menu "hide letters" is the 5th setting from the top

Awesome, that did the trick. A bit wild that it apperently got turned on randomly, but good to know it's such an easy fix. Thanks for helping.

About

Thumb-Key is a privacy-conscious smart keyboard, made specifically for your thumbs.

It features a 3x3 grid layout, as many older phones had, and uses swipes for the less common letters. Initial testing shows that you can reach ~25 words per minute after a day of use.

Instead of relying on profit-driven, privacy-offending word and sentence prediction for accuracy, as do most popular phone keyboards like Gboard and Swiftkey, Thumb-Key uses large keys with predictable positions, to prevent your eyes from hunting and pecking for letters.

As the key positions get ingrained into your muscle memory, eventually you'll be able to appromixate the fast speeds of touch-typing, your eyes never having to leave the text edit area.

This project is a follow-up to the now unmaintained (and closed-source) MessageEase Keyboard, which is its main inspiration.
