Hacker's Keyboard Description

Are you missing the key layout you're used to from your computer? This keyboard has separate number keys, punctuation in the usual places, and arrow keys. It is based on the AOSP Gingerbread soft keyboard, so it supports multitouch for the modifier keys.

This keyboard is especially useful if you use ConnectBot for SSH access. It provides working Tab/Ctrl/Esc keys, and the arrow keys are essential for devices that don't have a trackball or D-Pad.

HAVE FEEDBACK, QUESTIONS, OR BUG REPORTS? Please check https://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions or email me. It's difficult to track issues reported through review comments.

Completion dictionaries are provided by plug-in packages, see the "other applications by this developer" section for the currently available list. The keyboard also supports use of dictionaries (but not keyboard layouts) provided by AnySoftKeyboard language packs.

Known issues include:

- Localization for the keyboard layout is incomplete, currently the Spanish, Finnish, Lao, Romanian, and Thai are only localized in 4-row mode and show the English QWERTY layout in 5-row mode.

- Some languages and layouts may not be usable on your phone if it lacks the necessary fonts.

- Right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew) are apparently not fully supported on pre-Honeycomb devices. Your mileage may vary.

- Many applications don't react to additional keys since they aren't programmed to handle them.

Comments about Hacker's Keyboard Android Version

Just phenomenal on every front—ESPECIALLY considering how holding the dash key allows you to select an em dash, which is a feature I find myself getting quite a lot of use out of. This said, if it's possible, I'd like to have the option to remove one particular key—the "change fields" key. Being wedged on the right side of the spacebar, all it does is get in the way, all the bloody time. I love this keyboard, but I can't stand that horrible key.

I have been using this app for years now and can't stand any other keyboard. I'm old and I need the arrow keys. It looks like a physical keyboard. I have enabled auto complete, because it spells better than i do, but sometime those are way off. I have many passwords with both numbers and letters (mostly required now), so having numbers on the same screen in portrait mode is a plus. I like that I can change the size so my fumble fingers have more room.

Just what i needed, full pc keyboard experience, more symbols, and the ability to switch to more suitable keyboard formats 2 possible improvements: Japanese and Emoji addons Edit: It seems in the latest version, there's a bug where the keyboard nearly always pop-up behind the 3 main keys (home, back, and recent keys). Meaning the spacebar will overlap with the home keys and etc. Fix the bug please.

What is an XAPK file, and what should I do if the Hacker's Keyboard I downloaded is an XAPK file?

Open up

A file with .xapk extension is a compressed package file. It is a container file format that incorporates APK and additional associated files required for the installation.
