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 everyone’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?

I’m designing text prediction as a plugin system. I’ll take your suggestion as a consideration for the interface.

… 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 have’.

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?

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

Yes, it’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 squeekboard’s documentation! — 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.
