1. NovaKey is looking to redesign the way we type on our devices in order to make our overall phone experience quicker and more fluid. -More special characters accessed by long pressing. -Multiple language support. -The ability to create custom shortcuts with all the extra space.
2. Once you learn the place of each key you will be able to type without looking more accurately than with the regular keyboard.
3. This is NovaKey the keyboard designed for touchscreens.
4. Rather than each key being a meaningless tap, in NovaKey each key has a unique gesture.
5. These shortcuts could be anything from quick words to email.
6. Quick gestures like space/backspace. Emojis. And Voice typing.
7. Feel free to email me at StrellaStudios@gmail. com with the subject NovaKey with anything you would like me to add or ask.
1. Until this functionality improves I will go back to my default keyboard.I've been using this for years and have mastered its use; however, since it hasn't been updated since 2016, it often freezes on Android 8.1 making me have to frequently force stop the app.
2. If it can be made to work reliably, I'll give it another try.Stupid idea! Keeps keeps closing the app I am currently using or go back because the swipe gestures for those actions are too similar to some of the key swipes that they are very easily triggered accidentally.
3. 5.) In the theme menu, the 3D option adds shadows between the characters and the elaborate backgrounds, checking 3D with the 1st and 2nd backgrounds doesn't do anything.The idea is solid, however the functionality needs work.
4. I'm sure implementing emoji with the penta-theme could be made to work smoothly and better than other systems, but in the mean time the typical drawer would work fine.
5. No tutorial on how to use it, spend more time correcting typos and switching to another keyboard just to delete typos and hit send/go/search.I expected updates, but well...we're in 2021'... Sad, cause it could be interesting if further developed.
6. However the implementation is very clunky, the delete and space bar don't work most of the time,and I was unable to resize the keyboard.
7. 2.) Holding after a delete-swipe lets you delete more by swiping anti-clockwise, it'll remember what was there as long as you continue holding, swiping clockwise will restore what was there at the start of the swipe.
8. I've been using this app in all of my smartphones since 2015 and I can't recommend it enoughI like it, but it has this glitch where it will put spaces on the other side of the cursor.
9. I've only been using NovaKey for 2 days and for sure it's going to stay my default keyboard.
10. 3a.) In cursor mode: passing over the center turns the cursor into a selector, the selection can be expanded in either direction.
11. 3c.) Expanding a selection box beyond the available text removes the selection and goes back to cursor (I find this annoying but understandable).
