Public bug reported: It would be nice if alternative keyboard layouts were available for Ubuntu Touch.
On Android devices I use the Hacker's Keyboard https://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/ from F-Droid https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard&fdid=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard as this allows customisation and easy access to keys such as Ctrl, Esc, !, : and - and these are keys that take a lot of key presses with the current Ubuntu touch keyboard (I use vim). In addition key combinations such as Ctrl-n and Ctrl-p (next and previous channel in IRSSI) are not possible with the current Ubuntu Touch keyboard. Having said the above the gestures, double tap for tab, swipe up, down , left and right for the arrow keys is great and I now find myself trying to use these gestures on Android devices... ** Affects: ubuntu-ux Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu-keyboard (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ubuntu-ux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-ui-toolkit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377096 Title: Ubuntu Touch should allow alternative keyboard layouts Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: New Status in “ubuntu-keyboard” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: It would be nice if alternative keyboard layouts were available for Ubuntu Touch.
