My biggest complaint with #postmarketOS (well, #phosh really) is that while the keyboard is fantastic, I'm a terrible touch screen typist, and I've spent a decade leaning on gesture/swiping to make up for it. Having to actually type every character myself makes me wish I could just type using a number pad like back in the T9 days (but like "ABC" style; I never really vibed with T9). I do think turning off haptic feedback would probably help quite a bit though.

@gordoooo_z Turning off haptic feedback is possible, that is the first I do after installing #phosh. This can be done in the phosh-mobile-settings application.
Also I found the phosh-osk-stub keyboard to be better (espacially when having fractional scaling).

@usia @gordoooo_z

Thanks for pointing this out!

There's also some intro videos that show how to configure haptic at phosh.mobi/videos/

You get there via the "Phosh Tour" app. The "Getting started" at the end takes you to phosh.mobi/gettingstarted/ which then takes you to the videos. They can also be subscribed to via phosh.mobi/videos/index.xml

The videos are also mirrored on youtube for folks that fancy that over a website (youtube.com/@PhoshMobi) and want to subscribe there.

@agx @usia Thanks for the info. I made my way through all the tweaks, but for some reason decided I liked the haptics (which is weird, because I never have before) and then changed my mind (which is not at all weird lol) but haven't done anything about it yet.

A bigger issue is if I type at my full speed, it tends to spit out duplicate characters. I did also see a setting for that, but similarly have not taken the time to go back and tweak things.
