Simple International Keyboard

Pintér Gábor

O aplikaciji

This keyboard is created for those who only need a QWERTY keyboard, access to their accented letters, and nothing more.

Launcher icon is not shown for the keyboard (to keep your screen clean). To use the keyboard, you have to:
* Open Language & Input section in your System Settings (differs between phone models)
* Enable the Simple International Keyboard (don't worry, it can't track what you type)
* Switch to Simple International Keyboard from current Input Method (differs between keyboards)
* Optionally disable all other Input Methods to make Simple Keyboard default

Features:
* Small size (<1MB)
* Adjustable keyboard height for more screen space
* Number row
* Swipe space to move pointer
* Custom theme colors
* Minimal permissions (only Vibrate)
* Ads-free
* QWERTY base for all languages

Feature it doesn't have and will never have:
* Emojis
* GIFs
* Spell checker
* Swipe typing
* Support for languages using other than the Latin alphabet

Many people in Europe speak multiple languages. Instead of switching between several keyboard layouts they often prefer to use the English keyboard layout and forgo their national specific accented letters. The result is anything but nice. Some words written without accents have different meaning in some languages, and the overall appearance of the text is sloppy.

Android default English layout offers some accented letters, but not all, and not the ones that are most needed.

For example: in the Hungarian language "ű" (latin small letter u with double acute) is a distinct letter of the alphabet. We cannot replace it with "u" or any other variant of "u", just like you cannot write "a", instead of "z" in your language.

I have already defined similar keyboard layouts for Windows and Linux, and have been using them for a long time. My goal is to have the same for Android, and extend it to support all major languages that use the Latin alphabet.

All layouts are based on the classic English QWERTY layout. Only the additional letters, those that are accessible after long press of the main letter, are different.

If none of the included layouts satisfy your needs, you can buy my Custom International Keyboard instead. It is the same as this one, but I offer to make a custom layout, free of additional charges, for anybody who buys it.
