Update!

Because the current beta (beta 3) will expire tomorrow, a new beta (beta 4) is released with a new expiration date.

This is the final beta. The final market version will be released begin next week.

New in this beta:

Customizable toolbar. The toolbar can be switch on or off with a simple toggle on the bottom row. Examples of functions you can assign to toolbar keys: PgUp, PgDown, Home, End, Copy, Paste, Search, symbols, smileys, domain limiters etc. (more will be added in the future)

New small keyboard for one handed operation. It also contains a "blind spot" which you can use to hold your tablet.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
I guess I'll just wait until next week. The update should be announced in the market for those who bought the full version, right?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] chiefmcbeef:
Ahh nice, now I can go all out on my Elliot Carver impression, from Tomorrow Never Dies :)

Looking forward to buying the full release!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Yes, when you have installed the current market version you will get a update notification as soon as it is published on the market.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Tomate2K8:
brilliant juste as usual ;-) I definitly buy it as soon you'll release it. just to be sure is the final version Will have azerty support?

thx a lot
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jase33:
New beta working great on xoom. I also installed on my phones and lovin it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sooner2k1:
Is there any way to have the numbers in a row above the keys? I see that there is another tablet keyboard app in the market that allows the numbers above the keys instead of in the middle. Numbers are pretty common, and i'm always having to adjust to press the numbers.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Yes, just toggle the toolbar and assign numbers to the keys that are most comfortable for you.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] erzhik:
tried to install on top of beta3, but keeps telling me "Application not installed". Any way around it without uninstalling beta 3?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I'm sorry you need to uninstall beta 3 first. I decided to do this because a change in the data storage routines would cause a loose of saved shortcuts anyway, also when one could install it over the old beta.

The good news is that one doesn't need to uninstall beta 4 when one updates the keyboard with the final market release begin next week.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] erzhik:
Sweet, thanks for fast response. Installed it, works even better. Love the new key binding feature.

1. However, I would also absolutely kill for Russian language support. I can even help with translation if you want.

2. Would also love if new binding feature would allow for custom text like in shortcuts (this would allow for quick forum login, etc without the need to go into shortcuts).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Will the market version support user themes? I've recolored the GB theme from the beta for my 'HonyeBread' theme (See here), and I would like to continue to provide those who use my theme with the support, but since this will be a paid app, I can't just upload the rethemed version from a market-bought apk. It would be great to be able to download themes for the keyboard in app like Beautiful Widgets does for the clock/weather skins.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Both are on my todo list. The first one has high priority, because I got a lot requests for it. I promised to work on it after the final version is released. Can't give any ETA yet, have to take a few days of also, otherwise my relationship will be in trouble :D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Well wow! Great job! I am actually planning theme support in a future version. I already made a lot of parameters definable in a separate XML file. For the time being, just send your theme to me and I will incorporate it (if you like). Of course I will put your name up as the author. Btw love the name of your theme :-)

beta 4

in this new beta 4, the layout bug for alt char preview chars wih 5 and v keys (using 10' layout) previously reported still present.

5 key shows \ as alternative instead of ]

and the right v key shows ... as alternative instead of * .

also, a new major bug is the ?123 key not working in portrait mode (10' layout). clicking it will click and stuck the d key instead.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] baris.m:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I uninstall Beta3? I don't see it under My Apps and rerunning the apk doesn't give me an option to uninstall.

Fantastic keyboard by the way, thank you!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] baris.m:
I was able to uninstall it with Easy Uninstaller, it's weird that I had to use a third party app to do it though.

best keyboard app for xoom....easy switching between keyboard and now shortcuts amazing
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RoryPG:
This beta4 was triggering many incorrect key presses until I rebooted. Strange. I'm on honeycomb #e#ll

Here we go again. Long key presses on numbbbers triggers symbols and then delete key doesn't work. Sigh. Will uninstall andreinstall old market version.

Really not afan ofthevery lowreturn key on the xoom split keyboard either. Awkward stretch. Andkeep hitting settings.

Oh well.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RoryPG:
Okay, I have uninstalled beta 4 and went back to stock keyboard. Beta 4 was very buggy on my Xoom. It would be triggered by a long press on a number, which would selecta symbol, instead. Then delete key would stop working. I would then switch back to stock keyboard and the same errors would remain. Rebooting Xoom would fix it until I did a long press again. Only installing beta would resolve the issue.

I really love this app but I always leave it and go back to stock because of the low return key on the split keyboard on my Xoom. Poor placement. Otherwise, a fantastic product for version 3.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bjarnia:
The website force closes my browser on xoom 3.1 every time. Never had other websites do that :\
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kelvie:
The new beta is awesome! Just a few things...

The new shortcut toolbar is awesome! It doesn't appear to work in portrait mode for me, though. When I hit the shortcut keys in portrait mode, it just presses the nearest key on the top row of the keyboard instead.

Also, will it ever be possible to have shortcut keys such as ctrl-a, ctrl-b, etc? That or a Ctrl key I can hold down would make it so that I can program on a text editor without a physical keyboard, or without me having to develop a competing app :(
[Xoom Themes and Apps] myv6mustang:
What sucks is i actually bought this in the market and the beta is better than what i bought...best keyboard hands down
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
This keyboard is perfect for my xoom ....great job with this.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
The only time I've ever had a website force close was because flash was either not installed or out of date...but here is the do URL....

[Xoom Themes and Apps] bjarnia:
Can we get the ability to customizer the smileys? :D No offence but I absoloutly hate the choice we have! I don't like to put "noses" in them (and I don't know anyone that does)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] twinkyz1979:
I was going through and setting this up and tried testing the the keyboard under the layout setting and it would not work through that one but went into where you set the height and stuff up and the test feature works in there.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Just-in-time:
Love this app have used all the betas you put out to test the app. Can't wait to buy the market version once I get my card fixed (damn psn) Only bug I have had is when I use the arrow keys to move the cursor it sometimes highlights the text instead.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mandog202:
Best keyboard hands down just got even better! loving beta 4!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] saber74:
New beta still has a problem with portrait mode:

- toggling only works in one direction and

- the enter key disappears while in gchat
[Xoom Themes and Apps] IctinikeOH:
Great keyboard and using it now :-)

updated to newest beta and even better!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rajones19:
Noticed that the keys are now always lower-case - when you hit Shift, or when Auto-Caps kicks in after a period, the keys still show lower case. working OK on my Droid X, but problem exists on the Xoom/10" layout, both portrait and landscape.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Rules.r:
I've been using the beta for a couple months now, great and a fantastic competitor for the other tablet keyboards!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mtbike:
Please add russian language :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
In some very rare cases the keyboard needs a reboot of your device in order to work properly.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
At all, thanks for your input, bug reports and suggestions. Unfortunately I don't have the time to respond to them individually. Nevertheless I read all reports carefully and will use them when ironing out the bugs for the final version this week.

Btw. Although it isn't necessary in all cases I suggest to do a reboot of your device after installing the keyboard.

Again, thank you all for your input.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rajones19:
The device has been rebooted numerous times; cleared cache, cleared app data, but the landscape and portrait keyboards are both still all lower case all the time now. I can't say for certain if this problem arrived with the latest beta, or with the arrival of HC 3.1, since they both happened approximately the same time for me.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] retabber:
Thanks will give it a try !
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rajones19:
Just did a little more testing - it does not happen with the full-width 'regular' layout - only with the split keyboard layout. Tried a few different themes, problem persisted.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jrezin:
+ bugs.

used beta 4 a little more, but there are problems too with with the area belonging to the space key triggering those keys:

z x n .

at space key's borders in non-split layout and portrait mode (10" size).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
I love this keyboard. It's been working great for the most part. There are a couple things i noticed. It uses the old style menu button in the task bar which I keep hitting instead of the spacebar. The quick correct doesnt seem to be working. The underlined word should be used when hitting space and its not. Also, its not capitalizing my I all them time. Last, when you long press a key for alternate symbols, it doesn't always start with the same one selected. I let go too soon expecting a forward slash and get a funny ż instead.

Love the keyboard, though. Much better than stock. :-) oh, one more thing. When you long press to get smilelys, the smile face should be the default iinstead of the cry face. :'(
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Quick correct depends on your device language. It should work without any problems (didn't get any reports about this during the 6 week beta). The autocomplete with the spacebar only work for the right spacebar (that is, when you have turned the auto-complete function on in the settings). The left spacebar doesn't pick suggestions. This is done intentionally, so one can keep on typing when a word is wrongly recognized.

The issue with the letters not shifted is a problem that seems to be introduced with the 3.1 update for the Xoom. Nevertheless, a reboot may fix this (let me know)

A possible wrong selection on the z and s are addressed in the final release along.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I suspect that this has something todo with the 3.1 layout. This seems like a bug that should have been noticed the last 6 weeks,

Cab you try to switch to the stock keyboard and going right back to the tthimb keyboard? Also like to know if the stock Keyboard has the same uppercase problem on the 3.1 honeycmf
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Question: can you check if there is any difference in the behavior when you toggle the toolbar? Unfortunately I can't reproduce it on 3.01. Will try the new ask system image to see if I can.

so all ppl that have the Shift problem, can you try to toggle the toolbar and see if there's any change in the behavior. If this can't reproduced this way, please post your toolbar assignments.

Thanks!!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rajones19:
I'd be happy to test anything you want - I really want this to work! Tried messing with the toolbar (once I figured out what it was!), but no change. I have not assigned any keys to it.

I did try the stock keyboard, and it seems to be working fine. Switching back to TK did not help. TK works great if using the full-width (like stock) keyboard; issue only persists for me with the split layout.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ruricu:
Thanks for the great work on this app so far! I do intend to purchase the full version once it comes out of beta.

I have just a couple bugs of my own to report, though. Running a nook color with CM7, I often have a lot of trouble with the alternate keys on the bottom row in portrait mode (eg holding v for a comma never summons the alternate character pop-up). Unfortunately also, trying to then create these characters with the numbers keyboard (? 123) results in a force close.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] randywintle:
One thing I noticed with this keyboard and not sure if it is fixed in the beta. When typing the Input window covers whatever you are typing in. For example a word document. You can see what you are currently typing but not the rest. Same with web site forms, was a deal breaker for me as I like to use this for word editing on planes.

Thoughts?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kmaxima:
In the settings have you checked the option for "Suppress fullscreen windows?" With this option selected it behaves just like the stock keyboard does.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] randywintle:
Wow thanks!

Sorry for being such a noob and not looking through the settings :)

Amazing app!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] stark0:
What about the ç character ?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] moosc:
This so freaking cool. How can I get tactile feed back.?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bjarnia:
New beta is awesome but I still would _really_ appreciate an easy way to be able to type in my native language (Icelandic) :)

I've bugged you about this before but an easy way to switch input languages (not the keyboard layout) would be awesome. Something like android 2.3.3's keyboard would be nice:

Here you swipe the spacebar to switch between languages. I don't really want a new keyboard layout just switching to a new (empty) dictionary would suffice.

Also, I'm desperately missing these 2 letters: Þ/þ (upper/lower case) on the T long press and Ð/ð on d long press :)

If you get both of these in there I'll paypal you some cash :) (already bought the app long time ago)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jrezin:
just go to the preferences and select the languages you want (you need to have support for them in your system), that you'll be able to switch them with the spacebar just like in gingerbread...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bjarnia:
Ok.. I did actually not know about this. I'm hoping that this was added at some point after I played around with the settings or I'll feel like a retard :)

HOWEVER. This is not of much help to me as I can only pick from english and spanish, both of which have a dictionary. Just adding a language called "Everything else" to that list without a dictionary would fix my problem :)

Edit: Just realized what you said about it being linked to my system languages... Only have english and spanish there.. Is there a way to add more?

Edit2: This only seems to be able to pick from a list of language packs installed on the system. I'm pretty sure that I won't be getting an Icelandic language pack anytime soon, and I wouldn't want one either. I've tried enabling other keyboard layouts in the normal keyboard but that did not make them show up in the list in thumb keyboard.

Edit3: Tried "MoreLocale 2" from the market.. Even though I can add custom locales they do not show up in the list in HC settings or thumbkeyboard input language selection :/

Edit4: Going to try this out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1083612 did not show up when I searched for "language" in the forum.. weird.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jrezin:
in this forum, look the [MOD][HC3.1] Languages Pack for US Xoom thread if you're running 3.1.

the supported languages are:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13070124&postcount=4
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bjarnia:
Awesome. This seems to work. I just picked Danish as my alternate input language as it does not have a dictionary. Problem solved! Thanks you so much.

Now if I can just get the 2 characters that I need :) (see post above) ÞþÐð! :D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
No problem, will add them to the final release. I will publish it today or tomorrow.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
This severe bug was bothering me :-) Finally found out that people who reported this bug had disabled the right shiftkey in the settings. It's fixed now so the final release can be published soon. Thanks for reporting!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] stark0:
Don't forget the ç in the phone layout :)

Thanks !
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Brolloks:
From all the custom keyboards , this one is still by far the best ...thanks to the developers
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jrezin:
it is missing only in the phone standard layout.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] chaval:
Hi, bought your app but im using this beta cos is so much better.

Are you planing to add more keyboard layouts(Swedish) in you final release?

I have a US Xoom and I would like to use a SWE layout just like in your old market app.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] whitesnake:
great app.

sorry if it has been previously discussed but how can I add dictionarie to this keyboard?

thanks in advance,

best regards
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MrGinger:
Don't suppose you could consider swapping the .uk shortcut under the longpress of the .com button to be .co.uk ?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jrezin:
...as we are in the subject, how about add .br to the domain options for custom keys? (and maybe other standard characters to choose from/type your own...)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Final release

Thank you all for your feedback, bug reports etc. The final release is ready and can be downloaded as a upgrade to the current version.

Please keep your suggestions, bug reports, requests etc coming! There's always a next release... :) (For example, the requested domain suffixes or option to add your own, will be added soon.. )

The rewrite is finished. Finally some time for adding some new stuff LoL
[Xoom Themes and Apps] adancau:
Just an idea, for a future version :) (forgot to mention I have just purchased your app, I was waiting for v4 to become available).

In the case of the full QWERTY layout (not the split layout), it would be great to have the cursor keys as they are now replaced with the layout keys and the TAB from the lower-right corner, and moved to their normal position (after hiding the right SHIFT key). That way the regular keyboard layout would be preserved.

One more thing, in the case of the function keys (the top row that can be configured), it would be great if the long-press duration (that opens the config/assign dialogue) did not follow the long-press duration set for the other keys (or could be configured separately). That way a key combination (that takes some time to perform) such as CTRL+D (where CTRL is defined on the top row) wouldn't trigger the config/assign dialogue. Also, a PageUp/PageDown operation would function better if the key could be pressed and held for as long as necessary (without the config dialogue popping up every 300ms). Ideally the top row keys config should be done separately, or using the settings key + the key to be configured.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] chaval:
Never mind.

Just saw the info note about int keyboards coming soon!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jrezin:
in the 10"/9" layout, split in portrait orientation, the 5 key in the middle still has the wrong long-press preview, showing \ instead of ]

(using the new market version; didn't find any other previous bug yet.)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] GokuH12:
Amazing Man, just bougth your keyboard! keep the good work!

Btw, u have some kind of restriction for ur app? i cant send it directly to my xoom since the market, had to use my rooted milestone to buy it and from there send it to my xoom =S

I'm from venezuela btw.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] JaredC01:
Just downloaded this... can't believe I missed it before! Awesome keyboard but the comma key in portrait is invisible. Will give more feedback as I use it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] thunderstruck!:
Any way to get the default keypress sound louder? The other 2 choices are annoyingly loud.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] UserNameComesHere:
Getting an error for the new 4-1 beta... says beta is expired :-s
[Xoom Themes and Apps] JaredC01:
Getting the same error all of the sudden.

Edit: looks like it's been released on the market. Purchased and installed, thanks!

Though there is still the issue with the period not showing the comma in portrait mode.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Tiller:
I've just bought the app form the market, and even if the description say there is the International Keyboard support, it doesn't =/

There is only Qwerty and Qwertz. =s

[Xoom Themes and Apps] guitarwizard:
Finally bought this from the market...great keyboard! Best market purchase yet.

Feature request: swiftkey has a feature where you can swipe across the keyboard to delete the last word. Can this be enabled in Thumb Keyboard?!?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
+1 on this.... love that feature

Sent from my HTC Evo
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dean_fx:
Just bought it from the market. Loving the new skins and features. Awesome work!

The feature to swipe back to remove last word like swiftkey would be pretty neat, but keyboard is perfect as is :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mikey_t:
I just bought this keyboard primarily for my tablet and I'm finding myself using it for my phone as well.

Is there any way to toggle the cursor row without going into the settings page? In the gingerbread keyboard, you can long-press on the space bar and swipe up or down to show or hide it; it works really well.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wang1404:
Typing with this keyboard now. I'm super fast typing too. Great! Worth every penny.

Any help?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
i bought the keyboard last night but really miss the function key row that was present on the beta 4 trial. That was awesome. And you can see for some reason the first letter of this post was not capitalized despite that option on.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
You have to use the right space bar on the split keyboard to use quick/auto correct. I had to train myself to not use the left one as well.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jrezin:
near the central number keys (left to the 0 key in the portrait mode; bottom of the 2 key in landscape mode), there should be and key to toggle those function keys.
