Fantastic, thanks! The addition of the cursor keys makes a HUGE difference. Why on earth are they not there in the default one?

Just one more thing. Would anyone know how to adopt it to accept pressing the cursor keys whilst holding Shift? THAT's the main reason I want cursor keys, for an easy text selection.

Personally, I would like to see no need for the arrow keys at all if the cursor could be moved in an easier way like e.g. sliding a finger on the keyboard. This video should demonstrate it well enough (don't mind the iPad or even the tablet's screen size). Plus, the video also shows the Shift-selection (no need to hold, though) which combined with the sliding really makes the text selection easy and fast.

@tmi, swipe select (almost) works in the Mail application, but it is very hard to use properly. And it does not work pretty much anywhere else (for example, in edit boxes on this very website). If the choice is between waiting for Jolla to implement it to work in any application OR fixing the keyboard layout, I would bet my pants on the latter. Besides, swipe select is still a pain for very large (several pages long) or very small (one or two characters) portions of text.

Come to think of it, another key I would really like is Ctrl. There's nothing like Ctrl-A to "select all".

Created a normal qwertz keyboard layout without any üäö keys.
My experience is that I am typing with a lot of errors on the default german keyboard layout.
With this I could reduce my errors to almost nothing.

Maybe I am to accustomed to the blackberry keyboard layouts (both virtual or hardware) but for anyone also having problems with the default this one might help:

llelectronics, I tried it, very nice. I guess it would be even better if the ÜÖÄ would be the default selected keys when long pressing, or at least next to UOA.

Yeah I left the default here as it is also with other keyboards on other plattforms.

Hi, I also switched to your kb Layout but I am missing arrow keys.
So, is there a chance for you to add arrows next to the spacebar?

Thanks,
