[Android Apps and Games] Stilez:
Having tied a few keyboards, I think this is the one I like.

Its two key features for me are - iIt's actually designed for someone to migrate who uses a full keyboard habitually, and wants that kind of fluidity on their phone too, and, instead of just copying it slavishly (Hackers Keyboard, not laid out for phones) or dumbing it down to annoyance (AOSP/Google), this keyboard truly adapts a lot of how one uses a keyboard to suit a small touchscreen target -- things like << >> to avoid ctrl-cursor, a key to change from "typing" to "selecting" mode, single keys for copy/paste, and so on, all on one page, along with a full set of cursor/home/end/pgup/pgdn keys. Also a separate key (thank you!! no more "round robin" of 4 clicks to get back to the page you started!) gets you a full layout of every common symbol a person's likely to use, again in one place.

This is extremely well innovated - I see this as innovative as it's clearly involved thought and origination from someone who uses a keyboard themselves. It's brilliant. I am sure it can and will be improved, but it's really well designed even now (b.64).

Some beta input for you as it really looks good:

A bug you probably know about in the layout of the "FN" page, the 2 backspace/delete icons don't lie on their keys, and keys like home/end, ins/del etc that should be logically together aren't. Sure you noticed this already though :)

The space bar switches the user back to "default" mode keys, but they might not want or like that, If you type a lot of symbols, you'll constantly have to reinstate "(+%" every few seconds - over, and over, and over! (This was a real pain on Google keyboard, where you couldn't type numbers and symbols with spaces because it constantly resets the mode.) This might be much better as an option!

The keyboard changes a bit between modes, enough to make it hard for the eye to track fluidily (you have to pause for the eye to pick up the "new" visual guidelines). For example, pressing shift, the keys and colours are static, it's easy (naturally). But pressing "FN" all keys turn dark, robbing the eye of its "anchor" or dark vs light keys and taking a second for the eye to adjust and reacquire the layout. If the 7 "dark keys" stayed the same shape and colour between "pages", and the rest were light, it would be very much easier to fluidly switch. The same happens on the symbols page, after clicking "(+%" the 7 dark keys *almost* stay the same shape and colour, except that just one of them ("shift") changes colour. If "\" on the "FN" page was dark themed and the same size as the shift key it replaces, (which is how the "_ < >" keys change), it would be make it easier on the eye to follow.

Often one mixes numbers and

letters

. But it's easy to forget how often one also mixes numbers/spaces and

basic symbols

: +53 (0)5-122-3456 for some phone number, or "€7,103.26 ($6,422.53)" in currency, "6.45 - 7.15" for a range of times, "$45 @ 10%" for telling a friend about prices or discounts, "[0]" and "(1)" in array code snippets, "3202:1065:eae3:f800::3830/56" and any other IP/network in IPv6, formulae if your tablet uses a spreadsheet, etc. It is so common and practical useful, that is there any way to have an option somehow, to keep the 5th row as numbers on the symbols page as well? The idea being that a user can choose to have the 5th row on the symbols page as symbols (like it is now) OR they can choose to have the 5th row persisted as numbers on the symbols tab as well, with the 10 symbols moved to a long press key instead. So it would be one check box option to say if you need the symbols page to show (numbers+most symbols) and not (all symbols).

If these are possible it would be very wonderful to hear! These are all things that would directly help and improve!

Thank you!!
