@nadaillat @thumbkey I can do an anticlockwise circle on the space bar
@fishidwardrobe @thumbkey Thanks for the answer. This doesn't seems to work for me, but I will try with other layouts...
@fishidwardrobe @thumbkey Oh yes ! It works. Seems like I didn't try hard enough. And you have to set the spacebar with "authorize swipe and drag" (it might be the approximate traduction in english, because my app is in french.)
Thanks a lot !!! ٩(*ᵔᴗᵔ)۶

About
Thumb-Key is a privacy-conscious smart keyboard, made specifically for your thumbs.
It features a 3x3 grid layout, as many older phones had, and uses swipes for the less common letters. Initial testing shows that you can reach ~25 words per minute after a day of use.
Instead of relying on profit-driven, privacy-offending word and sentence prediction for accuracy, as do most popular phone keyboards like Gboard and Swiftkey, Thumb-Key uses large keys with predictable positions, to prevent your eyes from hunting and pecking for letters.
As the key positions get ingrained into your muscle memory, eventually you'll be able to appromixate the fast speeds of touch-typing, your eyes never having to leave the text edit area.
This project is a follow-up to the now unmaintained (and closed-source) MessageEase Keyboard, which is its main inspiration.
