linsui | Finally, though I have all extensions in my own collection already. | 04:05:48 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | Ah. Intreresting. I still use firefox desktop version in termux-x11 when I need extensions to work right, but this might make that less necessary. If only they'd add keyboard shortcuts tot he android version..... | 04:33:18 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | (chrome for android already supports keyboard shortcuts) | 04:33:31 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | * (chrome for android already supports same keyboard shortcuts as desktop version, but firefox android doesn't) | 04:33:51 |

linsui | Why do you use keyboard on Android... | 04:37:41 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | https://fxtec.com/#smartphones | 04:50:58 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | cuz i always use android phones with qwerty keyboard. | 04:51:23 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | I started with Motorola Photon-Q, now use F(x)tec Pro¹ | 04:51:47 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | onscreen keyboards are annoying, more prone to mistakes, and take up half the screen, who wants that? | 04:52:30 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | using them in landscape takes like 3/4 of the screen | 04:52:43 |
linsui | I feel that the keyboard is too small for my fingers. | 04:53:08 |
linsui | If I must use a keyboard on Android I'll use a bluetooth keyboard. | 04:53:39 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | I feel onscreen keyboard is far too small for my thumbs. | 04:55:27 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | But with practice type 90wpm on hardware keyboard. | 04:55:35 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | And on real computer only 120, so llike 3/4 as fast. | 04:55:49 |
srr24x7 | In reply to @enigma9o7:matrix.org onscreen keyboards are annoying, more prone to mistakes, and take up half the screen, who wants that? People like me who don't type much on their phone in the first place and as such don't have any keyboard take space I guess. | 04:59:53 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | yeppers, the qwerty slider lots its popularity somehow, the thin slab is what everyone seems to want | 05:03:26 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | but not I | 05:03:30 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | iphone released without keyboard, everyone thought that was cool, android devices copied, and soon practically no more keyboard phones after 2013 | 05:04:28 |

You mean the thin phones where everybody slaps their thick hardcover and screen protectors on them? | 05:06:30 |
srr24x7 | 🤪 | 05:06:43 |
srr24x7 | 1mm thinner phone, 5mm extra protection | 05:07:54 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | * yeppers, the qwerty slider lost its popularity somehow, the thin slab is what everyone seems to want | 05:07:57 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | Indeed, that is a little silly. But if you look at "rugged" phones, which are thicker and dont need any external case, they look kinda silly too. | 05:09:17 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | But useful for their use case. | 05:09:43 |
enigma9o7 (Old) | Personally tho, I don't use any external case. | 05:10:04 |
