I love that this keyboard has built in emoji's, but hate that you can't long press for special characters and have to hit the symbol button...is there any keyboard out there that has both?

Same...just switched from note 2....is there way to avoid having to select the special character and having it auto add.....an exclamation point for example (long press "D" character)

Many keyboards you can long press the key and its secondary character (number, punctuation etc) will br inserted instead.

The stock Samsung keyboard does this, actually.

Hi, there is something with the iyokan keyboard on CM, that is annoying me (and maybe others too?)
Is there any mod available to basically use the standard-xperia-keys on the phone? I want to be able to use smileys by pressing the sym-button, and changing the language by pressing the languages-button... (i had a rom, where the sym-key led to a menu similar to the original xperia menu, but without the smileys.)
oh, and what is most annoying: when i press and hold a key, i can choose alternative letters, originally on the xperia pro, u could press & hold the button, then a small popup showed up with for example the letter Ü highlighted, and u could just go on and continue typing. now, u press and hold U, the same popup shows up with Ü highlighted, but now u have to manually tap on Ü to choose it. i hope this was understandable.
I hope there is a solution for this... and thanks! :good:
I'm trying to figure out how to get the stock keyboard to show long press keys behind the main characters. TWRP has a stock looking keyboard with long presses available and a few roms have stock keyboard with long presses showing up as well on the stock keyboard. Is there some setting im missing or is there a custom google keyboard apk I can install? Any help would be appreciated, id love to not have to toggle between the multiple levels of the keyboard to find question marks etc.
using the keyboard right now and i don't think there is an option for that. then again the scheme is straight forward in my opinion. long pressing a letter leads to variants of that very letter (e.g. æãåāàáâä). exception to that rule is the top row, which additionaly has the shown numbers as longpress-default. other commonly used special characters can be accessed by using the period-key.
Got my Gemini on Saturday and just working my way around it.
Was looking at shortcuts for the Gemini Keyboard and found the documentation, however all shortcuts are a combination of a key labelled ? (magnifying glass) plus another key.
For the life of me I cannot find the key that is supposed to be the magnifying glass.
Anyone know which key this is supposed to be
Thanks in advance

I think those docs are for generic android with a keyboard; google has been pushing putting a "search" key directly onto keyboards.
The gemini shortcuts are mostly the "Fn" key plus another, which should be labelled. e.g. on mine (UK kbd):
ESC: "back" key, or hold down for "Power"
Fn+ESC: "power"
Fn+D: Android "home" key (desktop, not to be confused with traditional editing "home" key)
Fn+A: Android "recent" key (App switcher)
Alt+Tab: App switcher (standard android binding)
Fn+C: Volume down
Fn+V: Volume up
Fn+B: Brightness down
Fn+N: Brightness up
Fn+Alt: Phone app
Fn+Del: Settings
Fn+T: Mute microphone
Fn+R: Screenshot
etc.
Hope I am not hijacking this thread, but continued question about Fn usage
How does one get all the "strange" characters from the keyboard?
By strange, I mean stuff like "{}[]`/" and similar ones.
From the keyboard looks (symbols imprinted at the bottom of the key) I assumed its a combo of Fn+symbol, but it doesn't work.
I am using US keyboard layout and set to use Gemini keyboard as input method.

Did you figure this out? I'm trying to find that out now too.
It is [Fn] +'/ ' to bring up the symbols keyboard and you can select them from there. {}[]℅™®©¥¢√π∆~ etc...
Function key

When you use the Gemini Keyboard app to configure the Gemini US English layout there is actually one more step it seems. Once you've gone through the setup you should receive a notification to configure your keyboard. Select this and select the Gemini keyboard and you will be good to go. I ignored the notification for a while, believing it was prompting me to go through the setup process again but that was not the case.
Hope this helps.
Hey guys, need some help to use special character "~" ... it's very used in brazilian language.
There letters should loks like "ã" "õ".
I find the simbol over "Esc" key but when i press just look like "Esc" and if i "press shift and press esc", only appear the character ' , but not "~". Did you guys know how to use this special character?
By the way, is there any way to use the special char "ç"?
Thank you guys

Have you been able to figure out this problem? I'm having the same issue and the only mention of it online is this thread. Apparently, there is no easy way to change the language of the keyboard without changing the layout as well.
I have to press SHIFT + ESC to have ~, to have `just press ESC
To work ã, õ, ç, á, à, ê .....
- First, configure the layout to US International, then you'll be able to use ãáàâõóòôê....
- Second, ç (cedilla) has a detail. Continue with US INTERNATIONAL layout.
In Windows, '+c = ç, but in Android, '+c = ć.
' is apostrophe
So you have to press:
right alt + , = ç
shift + right alt + , = Ç
If even using US INTERNATIONAL Layout, you can't type what you want, it's an android issue. So install another US INTERNATIONAL layout.
