  1. New "Remove thanks" button, to handle accidental clicks. Nice :)
  2. It is much a matter of how the national layout is made. You almost never need it with a US layout. But In Danish you need the AltGr all the time to get to vital symbols such as @ £ $ { [ ] } | € \ and the accent key ~ And it is similar for other languages. (But personally I could not care less if it is marked by a yellow arrow, "Fn", "AltGr" or whatever) Actually the tedious frequent use is one of the reasons why I normally use the US layout (except when typing Danish text where we need ÆØÅ). (Back in the eighties I made a completely customizable DOS keyboard driver, used to the effe
  3. Sorry meant "AltGr" not "Alt". As I said, I hope for flexibility so those of us that wants a lot of modifier options can get it, and those that want more regular keys can get that too. I doubt they are hard wired to any function, so just a matter of the software allowing the flexibility. I hope that the geeks among us can make several different 'packages' of layout-combinations, for sharing, and then each user can chose what fit them the best, and hopefully the program for it will be so easy to use so it does not require much skills to modify at will. Hopefully not even rooting.
  4. Uh please don't !! I accidentally 'thanked' your post, but STRONGLY disagrees with the removal of the arrows. They could name them in stead like "Fn" or "AltGr" "Alt", but I would like it to have all these 'modifier' keys, to allow us to have easy access to a variety of layouts. But If I have my way it will be possible to remap even modifier keys for direct usage, for those that like you would prefer this. I hope for maximal flexibility in how we can use the keys to fit each users wishes as much as possible.
  5. Have you tested "Open Camera"? A very flexible option relying on the Camera2 API (I'm using it on the S8-, and is quite satisfied with what it does)
  6. Well sure I TOO would prefer a phone over a phablet any time EXACTLY due to it being one hand operable (that is the difference between a phone and a phablet in my book). My point is that since all manufacturers seems to make (almost) only phablets, it is currently quite silly that it is not landscape that is the primary format for Android&Ios, and portrait the 'odd one' for the few remaining phone sized devices. The ONLY chance I see for the return of phone sized devices is three part Z folded devices, and they are years away from being market ready, (the current foldable ones I see
  7. I got a case on the S8- too (to get the click-on keyboard) and that actually eases the use a bit reaching over, as the finger gets 'guided' by the hole to the right position. I fumble with it when the case is removed. As preferring my right hand, I practically always hold my phones in the left hand, and that makes it quite awkward to reach with the left index finger, if I hold it in the right hand, the hole in the case does not have the suitable angle for the finger, so again reaching over the top is less bad. But IF I held it in the right hand and IF I did not use a case, then it would have
  8. Will be interesting to use it real usage.I got it on the back of the Samsung S8- and it is quite awkward to use. The least bad is to reach over from the top with the right hand index finger. I actually think that it might be too easy to use on the side, so you will have the risk of accidentally authorising things you really would have cancelled.
  9. You lost me there. Why should the two halves have different widths?
  10. I would prefer a plain back too. But would prefer small rounded feet over wobbling around any 'camera protection'.
  11. I would MUCH prefer the back to come with the four corners with 'millings' with rounded rubber feet inserted that thus lifted the back and camera. (For the purist wanting a completely flat back, they could offer additionally stickers that just filled the 'holes', not protruding.)
  12. Well if someone live near a border or frequently travel between two countries, they just MIGHT want apps such as WhatApp to work on both numbers, and as some apps can not, the cloning comes in play as a workaround. I have no idea what of your G6 experence that are core Android, and what LG should be credited for - let's hope that most is build into android.
  13. OH. The functional and the visible layout does not have to be 100% identical. It would be the PRINT only, of course we would get a Y pressing the key between T and U no matter a printed Z, when selecting Swedish/Danish/Norwegian layout. I can easily accept a few keys PRINTED 'wrong', but would hate to have æøå (or åäö) to be fetched in wrong places (I currently have this mess on both the BB Priv, and the click on keyboard for the S8- ) I will do what I can to have the functional layouts totally customisable. As soon as I know the format of the keyboard files I will make a program to modify
  14. In this tweet they ask: What do you think of the latest #Pro1 back case? Learn more about the #mobile phone here: https://bit.ly/2EG3vHF #android #qwerty #keyboard [attachment file=14210] Personally I think it LOOKS great, but I fear that what looks like a chrome-list around the camera will be protruding. That would be really bad IMHO, as this device almost invite to also using it on a desktop laptop-style. And I would just HATE to need to apply something on an adjecting corner, to prevent it from wobbling... We have previously been told it is a metal back, but what is the coati
  15. I hope for a Nordic keyboard too. But IF we are not gong to have one, you should take a look at the QWERTZ one here It is quite close to the standard Swedish. OK the print of Z&Y are swapped, and a Ü is printed for the Å, but it would not take long to learn to ignore a few 'wrong' prints, as long as each key gives what we expect.
  16. That might be related to that too, but then I guess more would have had the issues.
  17. How odd! Just guessing: Is there the same valid e-mail In both 1) Your forum account ("My Account" on the forum page) 2) Your main account (The blue silhouette) and "Account detail",
  18. My hope is that they apart from the print with shifted A-Z for languages without national letters, and the German QWERTZ print, will consider a 'general' international layout print, based on QWERTY non shifted, that would be usable with many languages logical layouts, without the print being terrible wrong. Despite I wish this project all the luck it can get, I doubt that all languages will have enough users to have their own print, and here a common base print would be nice.
  19. I certainly hope that we will be able to map all kind of combinations of the shift keys, I would think that an obvious choice would be to have Ctrl+†+digits give the superscript digits, (aka exponents).
  20. I do not think that it is 100% certain yet. But I'm pretty sure that the letters of the standard QWERTY delivered will be right shifted one key. Personally I am likely to go for the German QWERTZ print layout, accepting the Z/Y to have the print swapped to get the letters in their standard positions (better for languages with national letters, e.g. Danish for me). A few other keys would also have 'wrong' print, but I for one can live with that. It might be an option to consider for those that do not want the partly shifted keyboard for whatever other reasons too.
  21. What about casting "priorities" rather than "votes" My priorities as not German should not count. But personally I would prioritise: 4,2,1,3, and does not really care if the degree is printed or not (nor where if)
  22. Usually it is the editor you are using that are handling any smart substitutions. e.g. these (enlarged) »« , “” or „‟ (the last pair u201E u201F looks a bit odd in some fonts though) similar as smileys substituted by emoticons.
  23. If a pre-order is made without a coupon code, that would work fine. But if made with a code, I do not know if the coupon is revitalized on a cancel, so in that case I think it would be better to ask them to modify the order manually.
  24. BlackBerry (Or rather BlackBerry Mobile - a subside of TCL licensing the BB name) has made the Key1&2 that are slabs of 'normal' phablet exterior dimensions with a fixed keyboard in Portrait orientation, permanently using roughly a third of the area. To my knowledge there have been no public plans to actually make any slider by BBMo, in right or wrong direction. I too prefer landscape sliders, but I DO understand that for those not using a keyboard that much, and with small fingers, a portrait slider is a tempting alternative, as so many lazy programmers does not optimise their apps for
