I am stuck in Google's keyboard... #37

Closed OpnSrcConstruction closed 8 years ago

This started about the time I bought the styling app, so I suppose there is a slight chance this is related. Google's keyboard lacks too many modifier, function, and arrow keys to be useful on a cli app like Termux. I have the hacker's keyboard set, and it works in all other apps; with the exception of Termux.

I am sorry for not reporting this sooner, but I've been setting up a new laptop. I am running on a 1st gen N7 rooted w/ cyanogenMod.

I updated Termux/packages on an Identical N7 except 4 it's stock rooted, w/o the styling app; and it's Termux still picks up the Hacker's Keyboard just fine.

I am going to try w/o the styling app, and see if that helps. I might also try wiping the app cache 4 Termux. If these steps fail I will try a backup/reinstall of Termux.

I'll report back if anything I can come up w/ works.

Ok, so on your N7, the hacker's keyboard does not show up even though you have selected it and it works in other apps?

A guess would be that the problem lies in the system (cyanogenmod) since the underlying handling of which keyboard to show is done by the system, not the app themselves...

found the settings 4 input method in the HK settings after re-inbstalling it. I wiped the apps cache first, accidentally emptying my packages....oops...lesson learned.
