Compass Keyboard vs YidKey KD
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Compass Keyboard
CompassKeyboard's main goal is to enable entering any character (including international characters and symbols of computer languages as well) with the same layouts. Default layouts support Latin- and Cyrillic-based and Greek character sets: user-definable external layouts are supported as well. For entering a plain character just swipe a key to some direction: for entering some accented ones, do a big swipe across the whole keyboard. Depending on the direction of the big swipe, you can choose different sets of accenting. For choosing a different layout, do a big swipe from the top-left corner of the keyboard across to bottom-down, and choose a layout from L0 to L6 (L0:Latin, L1:Cyrillic, L2:Greek, L3-L6:Custom). To get a visual feedback about the symbol you are about to enter, visit the entries 'Feedback/Normal feedback' and 'Feedback/Password feedback' in the Settings menu, and choose either Toast or Highlight.
YidKey KD
If you study the Jewish language and can't use a Gboard keyboard, then the hebrew keyboard is often not enough and a few letters are missing. YidKey is supposed to make up for this and simplify the input of Yiddish words.
