5 years ago AFAIK the custom keyboard was used to deal issues with older default Samsung Keyboard (pre-TouchWiz / Samsung Experience 6.0; equivalent to Android Marshmallow for 2016-released Galaxy devices or Nougat for others) where punctuation marks cannot be entered from the numeric keypad.
But as some custom keyboards allow advanced inputs in their numeric keypad, I also agree to include this feature. By the way, Samsung has already fixed this issue, though.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Do something that pulls up the custom gnucash numpad (say, add a transaction, and click the amount box)
Expected behaviour
The gnucash onscreen numpad doesnt pop up, allowing me to type in a number with my physical keypad, which should also be autoset to number input mode.
Actual behaviour
The gnucash custom numpad appears, taking up half the screen. When i try to enter numbers on the physical numpad (i use a galaxy folder 2, one of the few android flipphones), it defaults to text-input, causing me to have to switch input mode.
The suggested solution would be a switch in the settings disabling the custom numpad, and if toggled, instead when you click a number box, just telling the android keyboard to pull up a number input (and not pulling up the gnucash one), which should allow us few smart-flipphone (or blackberry, i guess) users to use our keypads.
