About this app

This is an ABC keyboard with a reduced height.
When you turn to the landscape screen, you can input while watching more characters on the upper and lower lines by effectively using the width.
It can also be used in portrait orientation.
Predictive transformation of English words is not possible.
It is not possible to automatically return to the keyboard for lowercase letters after entering one character with an upper case letter keyboard.



Enabling Keyboards

01
Go to Settings > System > Languages & input > and tap Virtual keyboard in the Keyboard & inputs section.

02
You'll see a list of each keyboard you've installed.
Tap "Manage keyboards".

03
Toggle on the new keyboard.
You might see a warning that this input method may collect the text you type including personal information.
But this app does not collect any input content.
This is not a warning specific to this application, it will always be displayed if you select a character input application other than the keyboard that is standard on the device.
If you're satisfied with the explanation, tap OK.


Note: Instructions will vary depending on your Android OS.

Ratings and reviews

Works well while sliding to the alphabet keys but keys like DELETE etc keep running when held which can be bad unless that's what you want. This could be a great idea if the popups were at the insertion point instead of at the keyboard! I would like to see that because then you could type without having to look at the keys!

Could be useful at times, haven't seen another keyboard this small. Hasn't been updated since 2018. No auto correct or temp uppercase. No icon in app drawer making it difficult to uninstall. Keeping to see if I have a use for it.

Small. Really small. Wish it follow qwert arrangement at least. Maybe prediction or correction.
