About 8Vim Keyboard
8Vim Keyboard is an Android input method built around a compact circular layout rather than a conventional key grid. The keyboard is divided into four sectors around a center point. The right sector performs backspace, the bottom sector enters return, the top sector controls Shift and Caps Lock, and the left sector opens the number pad. Typing uses directional gestures from the center into the sectors. The keyboard also provides cursor movement: moving from the center toward a sector and holding can move the cursor in that direction. A gesture from the backspace area toward the center selects text while moving the cursor, and releasing opens a selection-action keyboard. A center-to-right-to-center gesture can paste clipboard contents. The design takes practice, and its unusual input method is intended for users who want a gesture-based alternative to standard touchscreen keyboards. The supplied usage guide focuses on sector actions, cursor navigation, selection, and paste. 8Vim Keyboard is useful for people willing to learn a distinctive layout that combines typing and editing gestures in a small screen area. The evidence does not detail language layouts or suggestion features, so those capabilities should not be assumed.
