ThirdTemple

nice

a) numbers still pull to the right off screen
b) pressing exclamation results in '/' symbol
c) how do we change static color. Its red and stays that way.

Are you on Android? On a separate note, what did you think of the guided instructions?

I'm on Android, Razer Phone 2.

The guided instructions were nice. It helps users new to third party keyboards a nice tutorial to set Chroma as the default.

I'd probability add another option in settings to change static color.

I'm still trying to work out how I want to display the colour customisation.

It's no longer RP exclusive, but you can download it now and help iron out some of the issues:

I was able to download it now (despite I'm already using this crappy RP1) after registering as a tester and buying the app. Thanks man!.

Hi @njbmartin i got the update on my One Plus 6T (Android 10) for the Chroma keyboard, looks like the keyboard is a little off to the right side with some keys partially hidden. Plus the settings to change the colors etc, does not come up.

@njbmartin Also the key inputs keep going to the next line (without hitting the enter key) and unintended space and caps lock comes in as well, this happened while i was testing in gmail and the sms/whatsapp ap.

Do let me know if you want anything else to be specifically tested for the Android phones( non-RP phones). Thanks.

Wow, it's very beautiful and functional

Can confirm everything he said using AquaMail.

Unfortunately, this keyboard is difficult to use with email applications.

@njbmartin Another issue i just saw on the Android 10 phone (One plus 6T used for testing) is while typing username/password for logins, the keyboard goes haywire.

For instance, if email is [email]xyz@gmail.com[/email] then after typing "xyz" while putting the "@" it goes back to the start of the email and need to type again. It goes in a loop.

Excellent update. Numbers are not pulling offscreen to the right. Love Chroma color picker. Nice work.

"!" results in "/"
"_" results in "%"
Choosing suggested word automatically places cursor on next line (in an email app).

Issue with numbers pulling away from screen is fixed as @ThirdTemple said

I just ordered the RP2 and waiting for delivery. I the meantime, I was checking the forums out and now I'm considering trying this keyboard on my LG V20 until the phone comes in. The only thing holding me back is the lack of swiping to type. I know you said that can be hard to implement in an earlier post, but have you looked into it more?

If that gets added and is decently accurate (or at least actively refined as needed), I'll get this in a heartbeat. If you do plan to add it, I would also suggest using a gesture to capitalize letters, similar to how Swype lets you swipe above the keyboard to capitalize. It may sound trivial, but that one feature is what has me still on the original Swype keyboard even though it's been officially killed and I'm having to maintain a backup of the apk when time to swap phones.
