BEST FOR ME... I am ADDICTED; No other keyboard appeals to me. Been using this for about 5 years.. ••√√** On Android 10, it is as PERFECT as ever.making a.nonsense of GBoard which overides other keyb except you can tweak like me. If you guys must update, please preserve this edition as Evergreen.

Ive deleted this app twice and returned to it twice after getting use to having this keyboard seems another keyboard i have problems typing. I have only 1 issue , the icon does not show at all on my device which makes it complicated to find the settings.

1000 fold improvement in accuracy and ease over MS Swiftkey which is now totally messed up. Navigation keys are just fantastic. I have only one grouse. May be think of it as a suggestion. Why not add Gujarati as one of the available languages? I bet there are more people who read and write Gujarati than half the other European languages offered here.

I've been using this with termux. Very good. Best one I've tried. Will look at some of the other nextapp apps.

I use NextApp to replace the Samsung keyboard on my S8 plus. With every other app, NextApp works just fine. But when I use Firefox Mobile in combo with NextApp, the backspace key is virtually useless. I have to make corrections using back arrows and the forward-delete key, or else highlight the block of text to remove and forward-delete that way. Backspacing through one or more characters will often cause an entire string of characters to duplicate. It's not uncommon to correct a word and then have multiple parts of the word appear out of nowhere. Hoping someone else has an idea of how to fix this!

Really great but the OS it'self is kinda douchebag, never let me see or use my personal dictionary. The keyboard / the app is great.

About this app

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 android@nextapp.com. 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!

New features

All features are now free, including themes and precision vibration feedback. No beta expiration.
Long pressing space now sends tab character (may be disabled via settings).
Option to always use "PC Layout" in landscape orientation.
