Help Keyboard Issues

[sardonicus87]

So I researched and tested this and discovered the exact issue. Trust me, it is EXACTLY this issue because I am not a n00bz, just trust me:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2263

The keyboard I have loved, the only one that I coukd ever get set up to be able to use, is now having this issue since the last Android System Webview update.

That keyboard is Thumb Keyboard 4 by Beansoft.

The beansoft website seams now dead.

So I don't care about emojis or anything like that. I need a keyboard where I can adjust the size of the keys and basically, most of the options of this one because I don't think Beansoft is still active.

I tried their website but forums don't work, contact page doesn't work, nothing. I tried emailing through the play store, but I don't think anything will come of it.

So I need either a fix/work-around for that bug that doesn't involve me constantly copy/pasting my password, or a new keyboard that has the same options as this one.

Or am I yet again boned because "nobody uses/cares about that crap anymore, so nobody makes it"?

"Just get used to a new swipe keyboard u old, behind the times loser or quit crying and don't use a phone anymore."

That seems to be what everything is devolving into, and I can't go without a phone (need it for work), and I CAN NOT use a swipe keyboard, absolutely cannot with my tremors and sshaking, use a swipe keyboard.

If that's your "solution", don't bother.

I'd like to help you, but in order to do that I need a bit more information. As far as resizing the keys, both Kii and Magic Keyboard2 allow for that. I have used them both and like them. However, I'm not familiar with Thumb Keyboard 4 by Beansoft, so if you could tell me what other features it has that you are looking in a new keyboard I may be able to orient you better.

I've seen keyboards mention one handed. That term could be being used rather than thumb.

Here's one, and I know there are others.:

Check them out, then ask for the pros and cons here.

Eh, I just decided to get Google keyboard and switch to that when entering a password then switch back, even though needing to pull down the notification bar to switch is a hastle.

But for reference, this is what the keyboard looks like (that I like that no longer works in password entry fields unless you click "show password" before typing it in, which is not nearly as often an option as it should be.

Other issues with other keyboards include annoying auto-correct crap that, even if you turn it off, the suggestions are horrible, inaccuracy.

This one you can change colour, font size, key size (like the actual height and width [where applicable] of keys, of the arrow row [in portrait])... but just, I really like the bar where the suggestions come up, which doubles as a "show password as you type" bar and as common punctuation when you're not writing a word.

There's just so much that made this one perfect. Most of the others are hideous and, while having an option for tap typing rather than swiping, their tap options are awful.

This one, I can even change the intensity of vibration, the length of time for long-press delay... like EVERYTHING you could ever think of for changing any aspect of the keyboard, except you can't add emoji stuff, but I don't use that.
