Compass Keyboard vs Full colemak
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Compass Keyboard
CompassKeyboard's main goal is to enable entering any character (including international characters and symbols of computer languages as well) with the same layouts. Default layouts support Latin- and Cyrillic-based and Greek character sets: user-definable external layouts are supported as well. For entering a plain character just swipe a key to some direction: for entering some accented ones, do a big swipe across the whole keyboard. Depending on the direction of the big swipe, you can choose different sets of accenting. For choosing a different layout, do a big swipe from the top-left corner of the keyboard across to bottom-down, and choose a layout from L0 to L6 (L0:Latin, L1:Cyrillic, L2:Greek, L3-L6:Custom). To get a visual feedback about the symbol you are about to enter, visit the entries 'Feedback/Normal feedback' and 'Feedback/Password feedback' in the Settings menu, and choose either Toast or Highlight.
Full colemak
This is a physical keyboard layout for Colemak. Android built-in layout does not contain any international character, dead keys included. This version is based on the official windows version found at the Colemak website.
