[Solved] is there a keyboard that works?

is there an onscreen keyboard that works for all purposes without having to switch between layouts?

the huge problem with almost all onscreen keyboards is the lack of cursor keys. the sloppy method of holding the spacebar and swiping left and right can give some left/right control, but not up/down.

i just figured out how to give the default keyboard cursor keys in settings, but theres still a problem with this.. it only lets me add cursor keys to the terminal keyboard, which is fubar because it adds a tilde key and turns the real qwerty keyboard into a fake qwerty grid where they keys are lined up wrong.

why cant anybody make an onscreen keyboard that gives all the keys of a standard desktop keyboard?!

when im using a console i cant tap to move the cursor. and when in nano, i need up and down to navigate.

why do i get 1000 emojis and i dont even get up down left right?!

i noticed on a different users post they mentioned they were on a laptop to enter the issue because they had "had enough" of onscreen keyboards. so they were burying the lede. their first issue shouldve been "hey, fix the keyboard so i can even submit an issue!"

i use squeekboard in kali on my pinephone pro, but in furi os squeekboard is mangled.

my 2017 android phone keyboard is still light years ahead of linux keyboards. its a gboard that has a dedicated numbers row, and allows longpress on each key to access tons of utility characters, with the ability to set the timeout on that longpress. we (the linux community) really need to focus on making the phone usable enough to be able to do basic things like use a console and submit an issue.

also, im sick of having to relearn a new keyboard system every time i get a new phone.

and furi os doesnt even let you change the onscreen keyboard after installing a different one. you have to know a secret console command.

i do not use a laptop or desktop pc. i use phones only, and onscreen keyboards only, 8+ hours a day. so all you laptop desktop people are basically clueless.

any suggestions?

and dont expect me to use a laptop to develop or setup an onscreen keyboard for a phone. im absolutely done with the helplessness mentality that phones are only consumer devices not meant for development.
