SCREENSHOTS
DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game Technical Keyboard.
The NextApp Technical Keyboard is a derivative of the AOSP keyboard, with added arrow keys and other special keys, and a slightly tweaked QWERTY layout that is closer to that of a PC Keyboard. There are multiple themes to choose from.
A "precision feedback" feature increases feedback vibration when your presses are not near the center of the keys. When autocorrection is applied, a double-pulse feedback is rendered.
This is a BETA RELEASE of this app. If you experience issues with it, please report them to [email protected]. It's extremely difficult to have a conversation using the Play Store review system.
This version comes with English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, and Spanish dictionaries.
I would greatly appreciate feedback on the keyboard layouts, including the arrangement of special keys on the alphabet keyboard, symbols keyboard, and function keyboards.
Function Keyboard
This keyboard includes a function key ("Fn") toward its lower left corner which can be used to access many additional keys typically found on a PC or Mac keyboard, including:
Cursor Arrow Keys
Page Up / Page Down
Insert, Delete, Home, and End.
Function F1-F12.
Ctrl and Alt
Tab
Escape
The fundamental QWERTY keyboard layout has been very slightly tweaked to more closely replicate that of a PC keyboard. Specifically, the size of the left shift key has been reduced such that the third row (ZXCVBNM) is no longer overly shifted to the right. The shift key is now a standard sized key. This modification only applies to phones (the AOSP keyboard already uses this layout for tablets).
Permissions
This keyboard is based on the AOSP keyboard from Android KitKat 4.4. It uses identical permissions to that keyboard. The "read contacts" permission is used to autocomplete names from your contacts. This keyboard DOES NOT send any data to anyone.
Thank you for helping beta test this keyboard!
Enjoy with UptoPlay the online game Technical Keyboard.

Comments:
Great keyboard. Has all the keys i need and lots of size customizability. Even on Android 11, still my favorite keyboard option. Only issue is after upgrading my phone, seems the keyboard suggestion knowledge didnt transfer. It offers almost no suggestions when typing beyond a few very basic words. If i coul figure out how to transfer that from old phone to new, this keyboard would be perfect
Great keyboard. My favorite theme is *theta".. Just go to settings and look for theme.
No theme previews, missing numeric input for percentage settings, alternate keypresses not displayed until a long press on a key, "alt" and "esc" keys incorrectly replace the leftmost mode switch key, long press on spacebar creates a popup instead of moving the cursor, crashes when selecting "custom input styles".
Great app! I appreciate the control and alt keys, and the convenience of having most of the punctuation in standard spaces, limiting the guesswork. I wish that the pc format could be set as the default, and that I didnt have to turn on that option each time i call up the keyboard. If you made a default pc keyboard setting, I would gladly raise this review to 5 stars. I would also like cents and degree keys. And i could uninstall Hacker's Keyboard.
I have installed this on all three of my mobile devices. It is sound & solid technically. I would give five stars if the predictive capabilities were enhanced. I loved (still love) my Samsung TabE keyboard for its functionality (backspace, delete, etc.) but was unable to find comprable funcrionality for my other 2 Samsung phones. This keyboard provides that across all my devices but really lacks in predictive text & spelling / word suggestion capabilities.'
