Privacy-first Japanese Keyboard for Android: Sumire

submitted by

Forgive me if this is yesterday’s news to some of you, but I just found this amazing replacement for the proprietary Japanese keyboard simeji: sumire

That’s all.

Also, if anybody here happens to already use it and know whether it’s possible to adjust this somewhat ugly disproportionate toolbar, please advise!

Not sure about the toolbar issue, but you can also use Fcitx5 (available on F-Droid). It doesn’t support the 12-key keyboard you’re using though.

Precisely the reason why I’m not using Fcitx, on a touchscreen there is nothing better than flick input for Japanese.

I’ve been using it for a while, haven’t noticed the candidate box margins being weird until you mentioned it.

You can make the font for the candidate box larger to fill the unoccupied space, but that sounds like a bad solution.

It’s developer opened an issue for improving that part of the keyboard not that long ago, probably there is something in the works. You may want to voice your concerns there.
