What are users saying about Alternative English Layouts

Z70%
by Z####:

Exclamation point in Dvorak mode is sketchy. Unnecessary punctuation marks near space bar, and the bottom row is cramped, leading to mistypes all the time. I cannot remove a lot of the junk that squishes the spacebar, either. Can we get some 'minimal mode' options or something? I would gladly pay $5 to get a Dvorak matrix-style layout like the TypeMatrix 2030.

D70%
by D####:

It's great to have Dvorak support, but there should be an option to remove the duplicate keys on the bottom row. The comma, period, and single-quote could be replaced with other common keys while including the same expansions, or those expansions could be mapped to the named keys in the actual Dvorak layout while the bottom row is converted to much-needed real estate for the space key. Also, the shift key should transform the Dvorak single-quote into a double-quote, as per its typical layout. Finally, five general considerations: 1. The look of the "X" button on the word suggestion line clashes with the clean aesthetic of the rest of the keyboard.

by Z####:

This is ABSOLUTELY the best Dvorak situation I have ever found on any phone I've owned. I miss the ellipsis, but it might return one day. This is THE keeper.

O70%
by O####:

Doesn't show up in any list of inputs for my Android apps. I never would have even known that I installed it.

Z70%
by Z####:

Useful, but the flipped backspace and shift is frustrating

T70%
by T####:

No matter what I try I can't get my keyboard to change to the dvorak format. The app doesn't show up as an option in the settings. Too bad, I really wanted to try it.

Can't change keyboard

C70%
by C####:

Look, generally I love it but I don't know if its a local problem or not but the predictive keeps auto changing fine words an that's real annoying, also, I'm using dvorak an learned real quick but the layout doesn't have an exclamation mark which is bizare an also really annoying considering the nature of dvorak in the first place. Which having typed with for a few weeks I now consider to need much more optimization than the origional scientist managed.
