About
Thumb-Key is a privacy-conscious smart keyboard, made specifically for your thumbs.
It features a 3x3 grid layout, as many older phones had, and uses swipes for the less common letters. Initial testing shows that you can reach ~25 words per minute after a day of use.
Instead of relying on profit-driven, privacy-offending word and sentence prediction for accuracy, as do most popular phone keyboards like Gboard and Swiftkey, Thumb-Key uses large keys with predictable positions, to prevent your eyes from hunting and pecking for letters.
As the key positions get ingrained into your muscle memory, eventually you'll be able to appromixate the fast speeds of touch-typing, your eyes never having to leave the text edit area.
This project is a follow-up to the now unmaintained (and closed-source) [MessageEase Keyboard](https:

Thumb-Key @lemmy.ml vagrant @leminal.space default layout is missing a comma
sorry for posting here, but i don't want to register on github for fear of its privacy policy.
other languages do have it on middle-down>left, but not english for some reason. i know about ghost keys and symbols layouts, but they cause a lot of mistyping for me

Thumb-Key @lemmy.ml Nicola @lemm.ee How do I use the clockwise drag (or other gesture) to quikly make a 0 (zero) ?
I use a lot the clockwise drag to quikly access the numbers when I'm typing. It saves me a lot of time. (The counter-clockwise for opposite-case letter is great too.) But I can't seem to find a way to do this for the number 0 (zero) with my actual template. I'have been using "français thumbkey-v3" for some months now, and would very much like to keep using this template.

At the suggestion of @ploum , I have started to use @thumbkey by @dessalines and I love it. It's a bit of a struggle after having used qwerty and azerty screen keyboards for so long, but I'm already going quite fast with it, while doing less typos. This is very interesting. I have the french layout but it's also quite easy to use for english text. Here is the toot that inspired me https://mamot.fr/@ploum/113945303642550960
edit: it's on fdroid of course

Thumb-Key @lemmy.ml zwan33 @lemmy.ml Left-handed Layouts
Would it be possible, that someone can either
- adapt the German messagease layouts and create "messagease left-handed" and "symbols messagease left-handed", or
- direct me to instructions on how to change/create layouts myself?
Help would be much appreciated.

Thumb-Key @lemmy.ml telepresence @discuss.tchncs.de new-ish RSINOA layout
i saw recently that there is a first algorithmically optimized layout added, RSINOA. i'm wondering:
- is it actually good?
- is anyone using it?
- how much better is it than normal thumb-key english (if it is)?
- is it worth learning it if i already know the thumb-key layout without looking at the keyboard?
- is it in it's final state? or are big changes to the letter placement expected and i should wait before learning it?
thanks!

Thumb-Key @lemmy.ml iiGxC @slrpnk.net What's your thumbkey wpm, and how does it compare to a standard qwerty keyboard?
For some background, I'm a huge fan of alternative keyboards and layouts, I've been using florisboard since it got the nalmy layout and swipe typing, and switched to thumbkey shortly after it came out.
I recently have been purging my phone of unused apps and even though I always use thumbkey, I ran out of low hanging fruit and decided to compare my wpm with thumbkey and the default qwerty grapheneos keyboard. Turns out, both are ~40-44 wpm, which is definitely good (the average is 30), but given that I've used thumbkey so long I was a bit surprised it was the same speed as a keyboard layout I've only used a handful of times in years (I don't use qwerty on desktop either).
I just realized I haven't tested one hand mode, so I'll edit the post with those results, but it got me curious to see what other peoples speeds are with thumbkey vs qwerty. If you share, it would be also interesting to know how long you've been using thumbkey
