* get them [here](https://codeberg.org/Helium314/aosp-dictionaries/src/branch/main/dictionaries), or in the [experimental](https://codeberg.org/Helium314/aosp-dictionaries/src/branch/main/dictionaries_experimental) section (quality may vary)
* additional dictionaries for emojis or scientific symbols can be used to provide suggestions ("emoji search")
* Adjust keyboard themes (style and colors)
* can follow the system's day/night setting
* Split keyboard
* can follow the system's day/night setting on Android 10+ (and on some versions of Android 9)
* Split keyboard (if the screen is large enough)
* Number row
* Number pad
* Show all available extra characters on long pressing a key
## Hidden functionality
Features that may go unnoticed
* Long pressing the clipboard key (the optional one in suggestion strip) pastes system clipboard contents
* Long-press comma to access clipboard view, emoji view, one-handed mode, settings, or switch language
* emoji view and language switch will disappear if you have the corresponding key enabled
* for some layouts it's not the comma-key, but the key at the same position (e.g. it's `q` for Dvorak layout)
* Sliding key input: swipe from shift to another key to type a single uppercase key
* also works for the `?123` key to type a single symbol from the symbols keyboard, and for related keys
* Long-press a suggestion to show more suggestions, and a delete button to remove this suggestion
* Swipe up from a suggestion to open more suggestions, and release on the suggestion to select it
* You can add dictionaries by opening them in a file explorer
* only works with content-uris and not with file-uris, meaning that it may not work with some file explorers
* Debug APK only
* Long-press a suggestion to show the source dictionary
* Debug settings in advanced preferences, though not very useful except for dumping dictionaries into the log
* When the app crashes, you will be asked whether you want crash logs when you open the settings
* For users doing manual backups with root access: starting at Android 7, the shared preferences file is not in the default location, because the app is using [device protected storage](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#createDeviceProtectedStorageContext()). This is necessary so the settings can be read before the device is unlocked, e.g. at boot.
* file is located in `/data/user_de/0/<package_id>/shared_prefs/`, though this may depend on the device and Android version
## Important differences and changes to OpenBoard
* Debug version can be installed along OpenBoard
* Allow users to add and replace built-in dictionaries
