Finally giving up on Jerboa (lemm.ee)

I've had enough of the text editing issue, where when you press backspace it highlights the space before the word and ends up deleting it. The developer passes off responsibility for this to the engine they use and seems to have no intention of addressing it.

What are the pros and cons of the other Android apps? I'm only considering ones on F-Droid, not the Play Store, so that rules out Summit and Boost. Ones I have available are:

  • Thunder (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Interstellar (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Voyager
  • Eternity
  • muffed (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Combustible

Ok my bad seems like I recalled incorrectly, your description fits exactly my experience. It's the keyboard

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not really the keyboard though, the keyboard works fine everywhere else. It's a poor implementation from the text editor that Jerboa uses, one that other keyboards have created a workaround for. But the issue is in the text editor.

It's like when a website only works in Chrome, but doesn't work in Firefox. It isn't because Firefox is broken, it's because the website doesn't follow web standards and has only been tested in Chrome.

I see, there's the keyboard on one side and the text editor on the other, and they don't mesh well ? that makes more sense
