I'm trying out Thumb-Key, and am playing around with the "Modify keys" feature, combined with not being able to decide whether I should go for one of the ready-made layouts

"svenska thumb-key", because Swedish is my native language,
or "english thumb-key" + added åÅäÄöÖ, because then I can use the "Tessera Mastery: Typing Games" app to practice 😬😅🙈),

or make one up (because on "svenska thumb-key", the vowels åäö are "more to the left", despite "vowels to the right"; the vowel y is on the correct/right side at least).

#ThumbKey #keyboard for smartphone

(Also, on another note:
If I select "english thumb-key compact", and have the "Maximize to fit screen width" left in default on mode, it's not possible to get back to "letters", after having chosen "numbers" ... ) @thumbkey

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.
