Hi all,

your requests have resulted in the release of 1.9.0.

Stuff that got changed because you mentioned:

  • easier to find ā€œ/ā€
  • more emoji

Things that are started but not there yet:

  • ctrl/alt on the terminal layout
  • bigger terminal layout
  • text prediction

Thank you all for reporting, and I will start another survey once everyoneā€™s familiar with the new updates.

Out of curiosity, does text prediction change with the terminal layout?

For example text prediction prioritising words in chat but commands in terminal?

Iā€™m designing text prediction as a plugin system. Iā€™ll take your suggestion as a consideration for the interface.

ā€¦ at least in the long run (Iā€˜m also no programmer)

  • Text prediction and dictionaries also checking other selected languages
  • simple possibility to switch languages

Like if I type ā€œsenorā€ it would guess ā€œseniorā€ and ā€œseƱorā€ if I had Spanish language installed.

My mother-tongue is German but I (have to) use a lot of English words/expressions. So it would be good to have checked both dictionaries with priority on German when the German keyboard is selected.
This is for sure a ā€˜nice to haveā€™.

Because last post is older than 4 years, let me try here: due to my big hands and big fingers, is it possible to enlarge keyboard?

Letā€™s not necro this old thread, use the more recent ones on this topic (@irvinewade howabout lock this).

Yes, itā€™s possible to make you own custom layout. For info for making your own, see thread Librem5 - A custom squeekboard keyboard tutorial (similar thread Librem5 squeekboard) and the manual Welcome to squeekboardā€™s documentation! ā€” squeekboard documentation

Yes, I have a topic focusing on a custom Squeekboard layout for accessibility purposes:

@dcz listened to my feedback and created GitLab issues for it.
