Jules Aguillon aa78229b2a Add the Programming Layout option
Allow specifying a layout for programming and add a key for switching to
it easily.

The switching key is placed on the top edge of the space bar.

The option has no effect by default because the ergonomic isn't ideal,
it needs to be enabled explicitly.
Users of Latin-script languages certainly prefer to use one layout (for
programming or not). This feature might be removed in favor of a better
language-switching mechanisms in the future.

Unexpected Keyboard

A lightweight virtual keyboard for developers.

Unexpected Keyboard

This app is a virtual keyboard for Android. The main features are easy typing of every ASCII character using the swipe gesture, dead keys for accents and modifier keys and the presence of special keys (tab, esc, arrows, etc..).

The keyboard shows up to 4 extra characters in the corners of each key. These extra characters are hit by swiping the finger on the key.

Highlight of some of the features:

  • Every character and special keys that are also available on a PC keyboard. This is perfect for using applications like Termux.

  • This includes Tab, Esc, the arrows and function keys, but also Ctrl and Alt !

  • Accented keys are accessible using dead keys. First activate the accent, then type the accented letter.

  • Very light and fast. Use 500x times less space than Google's keyboard and 15x times less than the default keyboard. No ad, no tracking.

  • Multiple layouts: QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY. Themes: White, Dark, OLED Black. And many other options.

Like any other virtual keyboards, it must be enabled in the system settings. Open the System Settings and go to: System > Languages & input > On-screen keyboard > Manage on-screen keyboards.
