I often use the same key combos in the terminal so I added a (configurable) shortcut bar on top of #phosh osk-stub's (pretty basic) terminal layout. Let' see how this works out.

@agx I want this!
I also never understood why squeekboard's terminal layout put the tab key so it was almost always 2 taps away... Does no one else use tab?
@craftyguy @agx It's on the primary layout in wvkbd, how else is one supposed to autocomplete commands in one's smartphone terminal emulator? Typing on tiny mobile devices is painful enough already...
@proycon @craftyguy it's on the primary layout in phosh-osk-stub as well (as seen in the video).
@craftyguy @proycon It's not meant to. I see phosh-osk-stub as a playground to experiment with things without sacrificing stability on end user systems (and without having to download half of the world via cargo to try out something quickly). #phosh's modular design of split compositor / shell / keyboard makes this possible as one just has to swap out /u/s/sm.puri.OSK0.desktop (which in #debian can be done via `update-alternatives` (which basically manages this as a symlink).
@proycon @craftyguy @agx this reminds me, the other day i made a custom #wvkbd layout made so i never have to switch between keyboards and so i can use #dvorak on my phone with all the modifier keys i need
@agx Oh man this looks awesome! Can't wait for this to land.
@agx nice!
having 'ctrl+r' would be awesome!
@agx I just discovered a keyboard on android/f-droid[1] that allows typing extra keys by tapping a keycap, holding, and swiping in some direction (up, down, diag.) to select the alternate key. try it out... it's a little hard to explain but it seems really nice to use, like tab is tap/hold 'a' key then swipe up... it's very fast to type. maybe it could provide some inspiration 😄
@craftyguy we do character popover already: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/raw/main/screenshots/pos-de.png . Combine that with the space-bar-press swipe cursor navigation we also already have and you're already almost there. Having a nice widget for it is the harder part but I'd be happy to see patches for that.
@agx yeah I've seen the popover stuff, but what this "unexpected keyboard" thing does is... a bit different than being just a popover. Nothing pops up when you "select" an alternative key for a keycap.
@craftyguy I'm aware it's not a popup. What I described is how you combine what's in phosh-osk-stub *codewise* to get to what you described.
@agx wow that would habe saved me years...
