It's become a really handy keyboard!

This has become my main keyboard now for English and French, alternating with the original MessagEase. Because the square layout truly is best for typing on a phone.
I appreciate that the developer is serious about making this keyboard ever better. Many early issues are now fixed. Being able to move the cursor in 2 dimensions is very much appreciated.
One issue: the Korean setting needs a Shift key, to type letters like ㅉ and ㄲ .

Thanks for the write-up. Long-press for numbers is already in, it's just off by default: Settings > General > Type Numbers by Holding. Drag to resize I left out on purpose. Everyone I asked, myself included, had only ever used it to fix MessagEase's size settings, never to resize while typing. Size and position sit in Settings instead, under Size & Position. If those don't cover what you need it for, please open an issue at github.com/cl445/wurstfinger/issues and say what for. That's the quickest way to change my mind.

Solid, keep going please!

Just migrated from Android and was used to FlickBoard. Generally, I’d support taking a page out of their book! The particular things I miss are an emoji shortcut, an ability to toggle select mode and select text by dragging on the spacebar, an option to allow long pressing a key to type uppercase letters, and the mini single column numpad always on on the lefthand side of the keyboard.
Solid keyboard overall. Would love some more features. Thank you!

Thanks, that's a useful list. Dragging the space bar to move the cursor is already in, either continuously or one character per swipe (Settings > General). Selecting text that way I can't build. iOS only lets a keyboard move the cursor and read a selection the user made, never set one. Android's input API does allow it, which is why FlickBoard can. The emoji shortcut is in progress. Uppercase on long press is a reasonable option, though long press already types each key's digit. The always-on numpad column is doable as well, it just doesn't exist yet. For those last two, please open an issue at github.com/cl445/wurstfinger/issues so they don't get lost.

You're welcome, six times over. It's a one-person project, so a message like this lands harder than you'd think.

A good start

A nice early version of a copy of the Messagease keyboard app. Even though Messagease hasn't had an update in 7 years, this one still has some catching up to do. The main missing feature is drag to resize. Long press on letter to type number is also handy. Finally, more color themes. But I appreciate your work on this so please keep it up!

Works really well

I saw this version of a keyboard a long time ago and really wanted it for iOS. I’m glad to see that someone made this possible. Im not very good at it yet, but its fun to learn.
