im using kde and maliit honestly sucks. i tried phosh but thats seems like gnome but worse. id want a desktop de not mobile
Squeekboard was developed for Phosh, so it was developed with mobile gnome in mind. So I would think it would work pretty well on Gnome.
I don’t think Maliit is that bad, but then again, I just need a basic keyboard when on a touch screen.
wait until u need function keys
Sure. But even Android or Windows’ onscreen keyboard does not do those properly.
really? i had no problems using functions keys on android with unexpected keyboard
I don’t have function keys in the default Android keyboard. So you likely installed an app that has those as an extra feature. Itø’s not common on onscreen keyboards.
yes and?
I think we are misunderstanding eachother. I’m talking about the default keyboards on a platform and you are talking about installing other ones with advanced functionality.
ok. u dont need functions keys on android whereas u do on linux
There are some older DE-agnostic virtual keyboards (svkbd, xvkbd, matchbox), but they may not work in Wayland, if that’s what you’re using.
ya. i need wayland. i tried x11 and it was terrible for touch
There are a number of GNOME extensions to make it behave almost exactly like KDE if that’s what you’re after
like what? i had problems tapping on app icon menus. i had to spam the button which made opening tray apps annoying as its a menu on tap. i also couldnt find a window buttons in panel extension
Off-topic: SQUEEKboard?!?? I need an excuse to use this 🙀
(Lil bit of backstory: I squeek sometimes. It’s a mouse thing 🐭 ^.^ )
people r downvoting u but i think this is cute. squeek away!
Thankies :3 It’s definitely cute ;P
I mostly subscribe to less fun-hating sorts of places so I didn’t think anything of cuting a lil tiny bit 🤷 I guess we’ve gotta all be sooooper cereal around here or people get upset for reasons 😅 🥣 I’ll just assume it’s because all of those people are techbros who’ve been bitten by mice and can’t even bring themselves to talk about it.
im a little so i understand. i mostly type in baby talk so im a little scared to on lemmy but no 1 cares on mastodon
