German Layout #47
Comments
We might have to rethink this behavior though. The app should detect and enable the local language by default. |
I don't know how long we should go on until someone else contributes here. I therefore summarize here again what I think should be changed.
You could consider whether you have two German layouts with and without extra umlaut keys, but with the € change, so that you don't have any fragmentation. At least if that's not too much work. |

It is present in the For comparison (I didn't put it in code brackets because it looked strange.): Here is the big sharp S: ẞ |
Only the small one is needed. There is no German word that begins with ß. Changed the language and found it. Thank you |
No problem. However, you contributed to the fact that I noticed the difference with the small and large ß. I thank you for that. It is true that no German word begins with a capital ß. But if a word is written completely in capital letters, it can be helpful. You would have to consider whether it is really needed. In my opinion, the option should be kept open. |
Having the umlauts as separate keys is not helping at all when switching from Gboard. It seems like this commit needs to be partly reverted: 4f10e4a Here's the initial request for change SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Keyboard#226, that is IMO not representative for Android usage in Germany. |

Feature description
I don't know which layout you want to take over from Simple Keyboard. However, in 5.4.8 umlaut keys was implemented as separate keys. I also proposed a feature request at the time. Unfortunately, however, things turned out differently. My suggestion was that theoretically two layouts for German should be offered. Because the 5.4.8 layout is more or less the keyboard on the PC / laptop. The layout of 5.4.7 was ok, but not perfect, because the umlaut keys in the pop up characters had to be manually selected by swiping. For example, if you press long on the a key, the default is á instead of ä. Same for u and o. Instead of ü and ö, 7 and 9 are the choice. Those were just the things that I missed. That's why I would say that everything about the German layout should be collected here first, if there were maybe other things about Simple Keyboard and the German layout that I didn't notice.
Why do you want this feature?
It would solve the lack of a German layout.
