How do I make the keyboard bigger?

van2z

I keep fat fingering when I type. Is there no option on the graphene os to make the keyboard bigger? If not, what alternative keyboard do you recommend?

van2z Hello van2z, Is speech to text an option for you? Instead of typing, you can just talk and have it typed for you. I like FUTO for this and is in fact what I used for this response. It's not perfect, but you may find it very helpful and less typing.

Hope this helps.

mmmm

Heliboard is a great option.

PaulDavis Try OpenBoard .

Its abandoned. Use the updated fork that mmmm mentioned.

Use a stylus?

Try OpenBoard .
You can resize the keyboard in the settings up to 150%.
It was rated on NBTV, who really hype up privacy and Graphene, for its respect for your privacy. I use it without issue.

Dumdum I didn't realise it existed. I've now installed it, thank you, and the immediate bonus is having proper spelling, whereas Open board would use US spelling despite being set for the UK.

commodore64 I agree that FUTO works very well, and it integrates well with Heliboard.

mmmm

PaulDavis yes. Its a blessing not to be corrected to z spellings when we all know it should be an s 😂

PaulDavis I use heliboard and I do not have this issue. UK means UK.

PaulDavis

mmmm Not forgetting any word that has "our" in it. It's like loaning your drill and it is returned with the chuck key missing

PaulDavis

jacobb indeed it does, hence the satisfactory comment. But in OpenBoard, UK means "mostly UK, if we can be bothered"

Both heliboard and FUTO work without network permission.

jacobb After you have installed the languages, that is.
