About

Thumb-Key is a privacy-conscious smart keyboard, made specifically for your thumbs.

It features a 3x3 grid layout, as many older phones had, and uses swipes for the less common letters. Initial testing shows that you can reach ~25 words per minute after a day of use.

Instead of relying on profit-driven, privacy-offending word and sentence prediction for accuracy, as do most popular phone keyboards like Gboard and Swiftkey, Thumb-Key uses large keys with predictable positions, to prevent your eyes from hunting and pecking for letters.

As the key positions get ingrained into your muscle memory, eventually you'll be able to appromixate the fast speeds of touch-typing, your eyes never having to leave the text edit area.

This project is a follow-up to the now unmaintained (and closed-source) MessageEase Keyboard, which is its main inspiration.

Some key modifications don't work inside Secure Folder (lemmy.ml)

Hi, would there be an easy fix for some modifications not working when I type inside the Secure Folder (on a Moto G)? I noticed that the issue is related to specific positions. There are 3 spots where I put "@", "!" and "(". At first, I thought the problem was related to the symbols, but even when I replace them with letters, those spots still don't work. I have the same modifications inside the secure folder and outside it (a copy-paste) and it works as expected when I'm outside of the Secure Folder. I can paste my whole code if it helps. Thanks for finally implementing this user-friendly feature!
