AnySoftKeyboard: SSH vs Keyboard Switcher
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
AnySoftKeyboard: SSH
A handy keyboard for terminal emulators, ssh clients (e.g. https://f-droid.org/packages/org.connectbot) and any application that requires a full keyboard. The keyboard learns your frequently used commands as you use it (you need to add your common commands for auto suggestion: only tested on https://f-droid.org/packages/sk.vx.connectbot). * Command suggestion (comes with basic dictionary) * Arrow keys for command history * CTRL key e.g. CTRL+E to jump to end of line * Tab key for completion (depends on shell) * Special characters as pop-ups Install https://f-droid.org/packages/com.menny.android.anysoftkeyboard first, then select the desired layout from AnySoftKeyboard's Settings->Keyboards menu. Status: BETA.
Keyboard Switcher
Keyboard Switcher is a keyboard selection application, it allows to switch easily from the current keyboard to another in several ways, thanks to a discreet floating button available on the screen, a shortcut, a tile, or a notification. This application makes it easy to switch keyboard if you do not have an effective way integrated into the operating system and the keyboard of your device. Note that in Lollipop and later versions of Android, a long press on the space bar of your keyboard can make it easy to change. System-managed notifications also allow this change. In these cases, the application may be superfluous. Keyboard Switcher is opensource and ad-free, it survives thanks to your contributions and donations.
