Unexpected-Keyboard VS hackerskeyboard

[5] https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard

I use the Unexpected Keyboard [1] on Android. I can use shortcuts like on a real keyboard and it is easy to get used to.

here is the link to its main github repo ( download link is in the releases section ) https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard

The Fn key is software defined, so, potentially most Android devices could.

Unexpected Keyboard: https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard

https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard is pretty good too. and maintained.

(If you're on Android and want to be able to type code on your phone, try Unexpected Keyboard (via F-Droid))

I've tried all kinds of portable physical keyboards but for programming on android you can't beat Hackers Keyboard https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard

I've got a fork working with Android 14

I forked the Hacker's Keyboard app on GitHub tweaked it, and compiled it. (using Android Studio)

Does not work with Hacker's Keyboard (https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard). It closes itself after a few deciseconds, whereas usually the permanent notification feature can be tapped to open and use a keyboard anywhere. Or maybe I haven't tried using it on the new Android 11 yet and yet another of my favorite hacks broke.... now that I try it elsewhere, it seems this app got broken by google breaking userspace again...

If it is a keyboard problem then what the author wrote seems to indicate that he is unlikely to work on it, though some other contributor might if you open an issue (at https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard/issues) and fully describe it. There are many forks so if the official app isn't updated perhaps another will.

hacker's keyboard is quite nice

When I had it installed a couple of years ago, I found hackers keyboard very useful. It has NOT been updated in a long time. So proceed with caution I guess. github link.
