KittenBoard

the perfect keyboard for all you little meow meows

An extra comfy open source fork of the AOSP keyboard with added features.

Features

• Material You themes (from the LineageOS upstream)
• Improved emoji support
• Emoji suggestions while typing
• Emoji search (coming soon)
• Plus much more to come

Installation

For now there are no prebuilt releases of KittenBoard available, but it should be fairly simple to build using the latest AndroidStudio version.

Contributions

Yes please!

kittenboard's Issues

Emoji suggestions: add emojis used from suggestions to recently used emoji?

Make emoji panel vertically scrollable

Instead of having swipeable panels it'd be much better to have a continuous scrollable panel of emojis, much like gboard does. This would most likely also make filtering much easier when implementing the search feature.

clipboard manager

set up CI

long term goal: Migrate all native code to rust

The current native dictionary implementation feels dirty, is riddled with TODOs and can probably be improved a lot if only it were in a language i actually understand that also provides much more safety. It's also most likely required that we do modifications to it anyways if we want to implement future features such as multilingual typing, more advanced predictions and potential support for gboard dictionaries ("dictionary v3").

In a first step we should try porting the dictionary tools to rust, to get a better understanding of dictionary internals in general and to get a sense of the scale of this project.

New SetupWizard

The AOSP Keyboard setupwizard is still stuck in the holo era, to update this it's probably easiest to create a new one from scratch following current best practices.

Is the project still alive?

Emoji search

Add a search feature to the emoji picker. Potentially requires pretty heavy refactorying of keyboard code.

Fix emoji suggestion indexes

Somehow instead of being the two side suggestions it's the two left suggestions in retype mode

Errors when compiling on Android studio

I would like to try the app and contribute to the project, only I can't build the apk on Android Studio.

(I tried building it from within Android Studio too and it's the exact same error)

It does look like libunwind should exist, according to

Cute Icon

KittenBoard really a cute icon/logo, so we don't have to keep using the LineageOS keyboard icon

emoji search: boost recently used emoji in result sorting
