Ratings and reviews

I'm using this on a tablet and a phone. It works great. I had issues initially because the previous version did not have a Minimal Keyboard. this was the way I preferred it. I was unaware that I had to select the Keyboard icon and then turn off the "On-screen keyboard" option to prevent it from appearing at points. It works well but when using split screen apps you can't hide the keyboard. It will popup when selecting a diffferent app. I was happy to have found the solution. Great app!

Incredible. Allows me to use my mouse+keyboard combo on my phone without a virtual keyboard popping up everytime that I click with the mouse. I know there is an option to disable virtual keyboard if using a physical keyboard, but that does not work when using a mouse, for whatever reason. This app resolves that and it is also easy to go back and forth between this and your normal virtual keyboard when you are done using this app.

I think this is a great app. It's something you didn't realise you actually needed. It's great to be able to hide the keyboard, I'm learning new things everytime I use it. I've mainly used it to hide the keyboard and then switch back to my other keyboards, it's great to have a dpad version. The included keyboard is a useful addition. Thank you for making this, I can scroll without my keyboard popping up all the time. Should be a os default, be useful if able to be in quick settings.
