Option to add full sized arrows #218

Open sandorex opened 1 year ago

sandorex commented 1 year ago

There is a lot of horizontal space unused by the keyboard in case of tablets and full sized arrow keys are better when you need them frequently instead of swiping in all kinds of directions

I'd be happy with left and right arrows being their own keys and up and down being one key

My quick n dirty mod (https://github.com/sandorex/Unexpected-Keyboard/tree/custom-layout): IMG_20221013_222900

Ignore the additional arrow on down key and it looks cramped on phone, but on tablet it should be great

Do you think this is something you would add as an option?

Looks interesting in combination with https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/pull/199. It's about making a better use of the space in landscape mode or on a tablet and arrows would be great for that.

The PR is not bad but i would still like the option of choosing just full arrow keys, as on my 8.7" tablet even in portrait mode there is enough space for the arrows

Maybe even split keyboard style for landscape?

Do you still use full-sized arrows ? I hope the space bar slider would be better in many cases.

I use it mostly for SSH / termux as swiping is kinda glitchy on cheap screens
