  Hi,

  Here's a keyboard layout that I've created.

  The idea is to have a finger friendly keyboard good for normal text
  as well as terminal input. It needs some polish, but I'm sure you'll
  have cool ideas how to make it better, so I'm releasing now.

  Features:
  - doesn't use the dictionary (I've found the dict too slow for now,
  at least on SHR unstable)
  - not using the dictionary, it can utilize the top part of the
  keyboard app (see screenshots)
  - Fn key that switches between qwerty and a layout with some special
  characters, arrows and numbers
  - Enter and backspace keys (so no finger sliding needed)
  - Some keys are very thin and are on the edges of the screen. You use
  them by pressing the GTA's case near the screen (I take no
  responsibility if doing that damages your phone).
  - No capslock.
  - The very thin key on the left is tab, the very thin one on the
  right is Enter.
  - There is an up and down arrow to use for command line history.
  - You can switch to another layout by sliding your finger up on the
  keyboard (the keyboard selection button is covered by the keys).

  I've only tested this on SHR unstable.

  Have fun!
