My phone died last week, and I was very tempted by the Razr with Clicks, but I haven’t seen much about using it outside English. In the end I went cheap and bought a Pixel 9A :(
Touch keyboards suck, but double so if you type in multiple languages, need non-ASCII, and on top of that you want to use shells. GBoard is not bad at detecting the three languages I regularly type in, but my BlackBerries were superior.
On Gboard you can change settings to hold a character down and choose one of their non ASCII versions, as well as changing the language on your keyboard settings (but that’s messy), as well as using keymapper. Since you’re on pixel now, I heavily recommend using GrapheneOS.org . You will thank me later. If you have any questions let me know.
The problem with the standard Gboard non-ASCII method is that you have to use the touchscreen.
What the article mentions is that on iOS, you can hold E, then press 2 on the physical keyboard to enter É.
When I used a Blackberry, I could type out longish messages without even looking at the phone, but I had to rely on autocorrect for the accents (which worked pretty well for Spanish). If this method works, I could do the same, but not relying on autocorrect.
Oh I think on swift key you can press a button for it to switch, other than that you would need to use keymapper and press a combination of keys like the new AI button and ‘e’ to get your desired version. However if you select Spanish as your language your keyboard should automatically correct the spelling after anyway most times lol
Do you, by some chance, write in any language that requires non-ASCII characters? (Such as ñ in Spanish.)
You can apparently touch-type non-ASCII characters with Clicks on IOS, I’m wondering if it works similarly on Android.
