A keyboard input method for the Unihertz Titan Pocket

TitanPocketKeyboard is an Android input method that entirely relies on the embedded keyboard of the Unihertz Titan Pocket and provides most features expected on a full-sized keyboard.

In its current version, it does not have any user interface, and it is optimized for the French language in QWERTY (following the labels), as well as English, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. It can also fit other languages such as Italian and Dutch.

Keyboard layout

The keyboard layout is based on the QWERTY layout of the Unihertz Titan Pocket, extended to allow access to most characters and symbols expected on a full-sized keyboard.

Accented characters

You can select a template that specifies the characters that can be accessed by multiple key presses in quick succession (multipress). There is an option to disable the multipress feature for consonants.

sym modifier map

Using the sym modifier, you can access more keys and symbols. For instance, you can use WASD or HJKL to navigate in text.

The Cut/Copy/Paste actions are only available when no modifier is pressed.
