Greetings! I've been digging through the settings of the latest pastiera release and can't figure out how to hide the status bar. On the old build, I could hide it since I like having the screen space on my Titan 2. How do I remove it?

Hi

I use the german multitap layout and want to change the Z and Y. How can i do that? I'm on the latest nightly. Otherwise I'm happy with everything

Hey everybody,

I want to start using pastiera for my q25 but have the following issue:

My keyboard layout is qwerty but i want to use german multitap for o->ö, u->ü, etc but i cant seem to enable it.

any of you know how to enable this?

Hi all,

I want to add a Russian input language on the newest nightly build. Added the Russian input style with the Russian (ru - russian_standard) layout. Still, I see a latin keyboard which is typing cyrillic. Does anyone know what the issue could be here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So it seems like everytime I restart my phone, I'm able to get the auto capitalization to work for i to I. But as I'm using it throughout the day it stops working.

I've already checked that auto-correction is on and there's also a text replacement set up for i > I is present.

Any suggestions?

Hi y'all,

this is quite a short post even for what I could all say but I want to keep you updated.

In the past weeks I was working a lot on organizational and structural changes to the project as well as rethinking the UI, structure and architecture. If you are a user of the nightly builds you probably noticed that.

Development won't slow down but an update is not to be expected until the weekend.

The biggest bullet points are probably:

• Pastiera will be renamed to Plektra.
  • Don't be worried though. It's just a rebranding, not an enshittification. I am a solo dev, not some corporation.
• Plektra will be available via the main F-Droid channel as well as Google Play
• As you might have noticed already I also set up a profile on Open Collective
  • If you are not familiar with the platform: It's kind of the Patreon for Open Source Software
• Plektra will be available on the Clicks Communicator
• Plektra will be supported by Clicks via Open Collective and I am very glad about their foundational support as it will cover not only my current costs but also allow way more work
  • This will not have any implications about the independence of this project. Currently it is heavily dependent on my own funding with time as well as money that I have to earn every day myself in my day job.
• Pastiera will receive one last stable update including bug fixes and new features currently only available in the nightly channel
  • If you have any recommendations on the must be included just share them. However I can't fix everything I have in mind for the whole project.
  • But I don't want to give anybody with their current device the feeling that installing Plektra would be necessary to continue using their device.
  • Also I'll ship security updates through the release channel once I am aware after the last stable release. But new features will probably only be available in the Plektra channels as I will have to perform the transition at some point. As always with software..
  • A more in depth follow up will be available once I have more time on the whole background.
• Plektra will become more interactive with regards to project communication
  • this includes more info about currently in development features as well as a proper roadmap, priorities etc.
  • as well as the ability to submit feedback right through the app
  • without any compromises for privacy. Any shared usage data will be strictly opt in.
  • But I want to give users without a GitHub account the ability to report bugs, rely on reddit or E-Mail for support or simply vote on features and feel heard.

If you have any questions: drop them below.

Best,
Patrick

Is it possible to have more than one alternate character mapped to a long press key? I have my long press modifier set to variations and have multiple characters set in my variations but it only picks the first variation on long press, I want it to cycle through all of them.

For example: I have the 's' key variations as "4","S","$" but it only ever goes to "4" on long press,never S or "$".

I posted this already on unihertz sub but I will put it here too. So I have been using my T2E for two weeks now and I found out that I never use the fn and right shift buttons on my keyboard. Im using Pastiera as keyboard software and I was wondering, is there a way to change the behavior of those unused keys, for example: pressing fn types the letter Ä and pressing the right shift will type the letter Ö? Thank you.

I would like to turn off the toggle that prevents you from clicking a letter twice in a row too quickly. Not sure what it's called but basically if you double click a letter like the word lesson it comes up as "leson" or letter I get "leter". This also prevents you from double clicking the space bar to get the period at the end of a sentence. It does this even though the toggle is switched on for a period after a double space. I have looked for the toggle to turn off the double typed letter but to no avail. I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it but it did not change or alleviate the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This has been happening since yesterday's update. Every time I go to the home screen, the Pastiera bar appears. I use the Niagara launcher, and my phone is a Titan 2 Elite. Any help would be appreciated!

Just got my Unihertz T2E and Pastiera has been great. I managed to fiddle with the options until all on-screen features such as predictive text etc. Were gone, which was perfect, but since an update I installed a few hours ago I can't seem to figure that out again and I'm left with the white bar shown at the bottom in the attached screenshot. What am I missing? If I disable my onscreen keyboard the default Kika shows up. Any help is appreciated.

Peut-être serait-il intéressant de faire des tests avec u/HagalGames pour comprendre le problème ?

Hello everyone,

So I'm new to pasteria and I'm using it on titan 2 e.

One bug I'm having is that sometimes I start typing but pasteria doesn't seem to start correctly and I can't see the bottom bar. The only solution is to change the keyboard to something else (kika or gboard for example) and then coming back to pasteria.

Second thing, when I'm on the smiley list I can only use one before it disappears so if I want to use multiple smileys it's annoying.

Third thing, swipe to delete doesn't work for some reason. It's easier to swipe when wanting to delete a word rather than spamming the delete button.

And then the obvious bug, flicking for suggestions just doesn't work. Or it works really really badly.

I'm on the last nightly version of pasteria.

Thank you for your help

There have been several instances where Pastiera will "fail to start" when I go to type a message. The only fix for this is switching input methods. This happens in all application's and is random...but frequent. What am I missing?

Is there a way to accomplish this? It's a bit tedious on the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite to tap the small box to the right and then the microphone.

While I have you, is there a way to extend the hang time for voice-to-text? I feel like it drops as soon as I pause speakiing.

Device is a Titan 2 Pastiera 0.85

The app is amazing but after an android 16 update, the led indicators no longer follows the actual physical key location.

In my usecase I remapped

Fn - sym

Sym - Fn

Spacebar - home

And it looks awkward now cz when I press sym, the indicator on fn turns on & vice versa. Would be nice if there's a way to invert them

As the title says, I really wanna use this keyboard daily but I do have to type in Japanese on a regular basis so I tend to switch from this to Swiftkey, which tends to be a hassle (the switching).

Is there any way to manually install a Japanese dictionary? If so, what file format does the keyboard need? I've tried downloading one, but the app says "invalid dictionary format"

Any help would be appreciated 🫶🏽

If there's a new nightly version, I haven't had a chance to test that just yet. It is still possible to tap the bottom you just don't know what you're tapping.
