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 am so glad that someone made this. My use case was that I was using my device via adb (scrcpy) and the Google Keyboard was super annoying. Even though I disabled it, it was still auto correcting my typed inputs. I just wanted to hide the keyboard but it wasn't possible becuase Andorid could not detect any physical keyboard. So this app was a life saver for me. Thanks devs! :)
