Err so. While I've been meaning to give money to #MessageEase for years of use, I very much dislike being forced into a subscription. Just a reminder that it is not Libre Software, and that it's not under my control and can be taken from me on someone else's whim. Particularly for something as important as my main input method.

I'll give a go to the Pro app, and see what the subscription looks like, but it feels like it's time to reevaluate @thumbkey , I guess.

I miss being able to customise the keyboards with whatever symbols I wanted to add.

Yeah, that’s my main gripe; my ticket request to add interrobang to one of the several open swipe spots was rejected, as was someone else’s request for customizable slots. Negative interest by the dev in even accepting a PR. The proposed solution, adding yet another layout simply to add a wingle symble, baffles me. Is noone else overwhelmed by the profusion of layouts? Or the frustration of wanting one small thing from one layout, and another small thing from another, and having to choose or constantly switch between them? Such a bizzare stance.

However, despite this, ThumbKey is actively developed, and probably still tye best OSS keyboard available. And it’s free, so I try to not grumble too much. Decisions like the ones above do have an impact on my willingness to financially support the project, though.

dessalines,

I emailed them for years asking them about source code and got nothing back. Kinda why I built this.

@thumbkey Is anyone else's enter key semi-broken now? I can't hit enter in Tusky or Simple Notes anymore (after upgrading to 2.4.0) - in Tusky it simply does nothing, and in Simple Notes it closes the keyboard.

dessalines,

This is fixed now in the new 2.4.1 release, sry about that.
