FastKeyboard`
Read full descriptionHide full description
FastKeyboard` is for people who care how a sentence is punctuated. Tap a letter and you get the letter. Flick up and you get the mark printed above it. Each row of letters has one job: digits on top, delimiters in the middle, and the marks that start or end a phrase along the bottom. The number keyboard is for equations and data. The symbol keyboard is there when you would rather tap a mark than flick it. It does not autocorrect, suggest words, or offer swipe typing. The character you choose is the one that appears. It does not request Full Access. It has no network access, and nothing you type is sent off the device. Add it in Settings โ General โ Keyboard โ Keyboards โ Add New Keyboard. In any app, long-press the globe key and switch to FastKeyboard. English QWERTY, on iPhone and iPad. iPad uses the same keys, with larger keys and wider gaps.
