About this app

After installing, please do the tutorial, because this keyboard is so unique, that some things may not be self-explanatory.

Warning!!! This keyboard will NOT open up on a locked screen.

As the name mentions, it's a transparent keyboard. The opacity can be set from the keyboard layout, as well as the height.

It's also got emojis. The emoji keyboard can be brought up by swiping your finger up from the spacebar. You can add emojis to your favourites, to access them quickly.

In landscape mode it has the layout of a PC keyboard. The keyboard emulates the Cntrl + X/C/V commands. (Note that copying a text with Ctrl + C does not copy the text to the clipboard, but to the keyboard's memory. The same thing with pasting text, but in reverse) This feature can, however mess things up, when it comes to remote controlling a PC. Therefore this can be turned off in the settings. Pressing the "Alt Gr" button reveals the F1 - F12, ESC keys.

The keyboard features a joystick-like button in both landscape and portrait mode. Pulling it in a direction is equivalent to pressing the arrow key pointing in the same direction. If you hold it, it's like holding the arrow key, except that the further you pull it, the more frequently the arrow button is going to be pressed. This can be used to position the cursor, scroll on a webpage, or even navigate on your device.

In landscape mode, you can select text, by tapping a shift key, and then moving your cursor to the left or the right, with that little joystick.

You can manually open and close the keyboard, anytime you want, regardless of the OS, but this feature can also be disabled.

If you are in a messaging app, and the keyboard covers the input field, there is an optional background, which you can enable from the settings window, from the keyboard layout (see the screenshot), and it will push the input field above the keyboard.

It has a Quick Setup, a tutorial and a help section to make it more intuitive.

Ratings and reviews

I think the app would both look and work better if it was comparible with my Tablet. (Im only saying that as far as looks are concerned because I really want it to be on that specific hardware.) But other than that I love this app!

Good idea, i thought I could use it with termux and run emacs with more screen space tham available with hackers keyboard, however I can't get the ctrl key to work, regardless if PC mode is checked or not ...

No issues with this keyboard other that the smallest size is a bit bulky, that 1.00 should be able to drop to 0.75
