    2) Go to Android settings. To do this, click on the clock in the lower right. There will be a pattern of three stripes with bars on them.

    3) In the settings we find “Language and input”. In the "KEYBOARD AND INPUT METHODS" section, you must select the desired keyboard. In our case, this is Hacker's Keyboard.

    We put a checkmark in front of Hacker's Keyboard, as shown in the first picture. The checkboxes from other additional keyboards must be unchecked (the Android keyboard does not count - it is preinstalled in Android).

    4) Select our keyboard to use as default.

    5) If you click on the settings button, as shown in the third picture, you will be taken to the settings of the keyboard itself (fourth picture). There you can change display methods, themes and select the required input languages.

    The following pictures show how to install the languages ​​you need:

    Happy setup!

    In landscape orientation, the layout of this keyboard is almost completely similar to a regular 101-key computer keyboard, which gives good advantages when typing.

    Before you start using Hacker's Keyboard, you need to configure everything correctly. Let's divide each action into points:

    1. After launching the application from the desktop or Application Menu, click on the Configure input method button. You will be taken to the Language and Input section of the system settings, where you need to check the box next to Hacker's Keyboard. A standard warning will appear, which you can safely ignore (this application does not have any rights to collect entered information, so you don’t have to worry about data security ).
    2. After that, go back to the home screen by pressing the Back button on your device. After that, click on the button below - Set current input method. In the pop-up window, mark this keyboard as your primary input method.
    3. The keyboard is now set up as the default keyboard, but that's not all, as additional dictionaries need to be downloaded. To do this, click on Get dictionaries and download the dictionaries you need from Google Play (the weight of one dictionary does not exceed 1 megabyte).
    4. After successful download, return to the main screen and click Input Languages. Now select the languages ​​in which you will print text from the list. This completes the setup.


    As can be seen from the screenshots, the layout Hacker's Keyboard very similar to a computer keyboard. A nice touch was to see the arrow block, which helps you navigate through the text much faster than just clicking on the desired point. The language is changed by holding your finger on the space bar, and then moving it in any direction. The Fn key provides access to the watch face, as well as standard buttons for computer keyboards: the F1-F12, Home, End, PageUp and PageDown key block and others. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to use the F1-F12 block, since they are simply not programmed for use in these applications (meaning the Gmail client). When entering the text shown in the screenshot, I made 3 mistakes, and that was only because I was not yet accustomed to the location of the buttons. I typed with both hands and did not feel any discomfort. The keyboard really stands out among others, and I hope you will share this little joy with me. Enjoy!

    There is a non-standard button layout for mobile communication devices, and some buttons from the computer keyboard have also been added, such as “Ctrl”, “Shift”, “Alt”, F2”, “F10” and others.
