✨ What's New

🚀 New first-time setup

Instead of installing every available keyboard layout, KeymapKit now lets you choose exactly which layouts you want to install.

During the first launch you can:

• Select only the layouts you need
• Install multiple layouts at once
• Start with recommended layouts based on your device language

This keeps Android's Physical Keyboard list much cleaner.

A brand new Layout Manager has been added.

You can now:

• Add new layouts
• Remove installed layouts
• Search layouts
• View installed layouts
• Enable only what you actually use

No reinstall is required.

🔍 Layout Search

Finding layouts is now much easier.

Search by:

Examples include:

• Latin
• Cyrillic
• Arabic
• Indic

During setup, KeymapKit automatically recommends layouts based on the current device language.

For example:

• Turkish devices → Turkish Q & Turkish F
• English devices → English US

No third-party app is required.
