    Have you heard of thumb-key keyboard? It’s basically a 3x3 grid with swipe gestures for extra characters. I’ve been trying to switch to it for a bit cause I think eventually my typing will be faster and it will be a better one handed typing experience.

    Anyway, I think this would work well on a small screen device too, if you can get used to a whole new keyboard paradigm.

    It’s on the IzzyOnDroid repo for f-droid.

    Hope this is helpful to someone!

      Tried ThumbKey and realized, I’m 100 % used to QWERY/QWERTZ keyboard layouts. The ThumbKey keys are not in roughly the same spots as on a regular keyboard and I just couldn’t get used to this. Damn brain. I might give it another try in the future, because the idea is damn great.

        Yeah I had the same problem. I just had to commit to being a slow typer for a while, but I inproved quicker than I thought. Still learning tho. I keep a regular keyboard I can switch to with the button on the bottom right of the home buttons for the rare times I need to type something urgently.
