Yeah, I absolutely want this option on all keyboards too. I just moved to openboard and it's the thing I miss most by far.
I'm on OpenBoard (this fork specifically) and I can access this by hitting the ?123 followed by the 1234 button.
I could certainly get used to this.
Thank you so much. Now I have quite a bit to play with until I find that sweet spot.
Same for Florisboard: press
?123
, then1234
.Side note: Florisboard also allows you to use custom keyboard layouts, which would make it possible to
a) make the numbers keypad accessible with one click from the main layer and b) move the numbers actually to the right side (not in the middle like they're now).
There's a catch though: currently, the process is quite technical. An easier way is planned, but it's hard to say when it will arrive.
OK. That's great news. I'm going to take some time out of my weekend to test all this. Florisboard, IMO, is to android keyboards as KDE is to Linux DEs. There are so many possible customizations that it can be overwhelming. I really appreciate the input. I'll try them all, and will probably end up keeping the one I can get to work the closest to Swiftkey.
Is there a calculator layout, where you can reverse the number order?
I have fat fingers. Imagine the pain.
