Hacker's Keyboard is an Android soft keyboard based on the AOSP Gingerbread keyboard that provides a full PC-style layout with number row, punctuation, arrow keys, and working Tab/Ctrl/Esc keys. It supports many language layouts and is especially useful for SSH clients like ConnectBot.
Use cases
- typing on android with a full pc-style keyboard layout
- using ssh from an android device with tab ctrl and esc keys
- getting arrow keys on android tablets without a hardware keyboard
- typing in dvorak or neo2 layouts on android
- multilingual typing with many keyboard layouts on android
When to choose
- you need a physical-keyboard-like layout on android for terminal or ssh work
- you want a specific layout like Dvorak, Neo2, or AZERTY on android
- you prefer the classic Gingerbread keyboard with multitouch modifiers
When to avoid
- you need modern android features like reliable language switching or popup keys
- you want an actively developed keyboard with current API support
- you need gesture typing or modern predictive input
