## Using the Settings Screen
|
|
|
|
This Settings screen is used to configure keyboards and dictionaries.
|
|
It also has many of the options that are available on the 'Get Started' menu. To access the Settings screen:
|
|
|
|
Step 1)
|
|
Open the Keyman app.
|
|
|
|
Step 2)
|
|
Click the menu for additional options. Select 'Settings'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each selection on the Keyman Settings screen is described in further detail below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installed Languages
|
|
This displays the number of installed languages in parentheses `()`. Click this line for the 'Installed Languages'
|
|
screen where you can [install new keyboards](../../start/installing-keyboards) from the keyman.com catalog.
|
|
|
|
## Install Keyboard or Dictionary
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click on this to display a [menu](install-keyboard-or-dictionary) that has a few ways to install a keyboard package or dictionary package.
|
|
|
|
## Change Display Language
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click on this to change the display language of the Keyman for Android app. The list of available languages come from [translate.keyman.com](https://translate.keyman.com). If a translation is available, Keyman for Android will default to the device's default locale.
|
|
|
|
## Enable Keyman as system-wide keyboard
|
|
By default, installed Keyman keyboards are only available to use within the Keyman app. Click on this setting to
|
|
bring up the Android system configuration so Keyman can be added as a system-wide keyboard.
|
|
|
|
## Set Keyman as default keyboard
|
|
Click on this to bring up the Android system configuration for setting Keyman as the default system-wide keyboard.

|
|
|
|
## Show On-Screen Keyboard
|
|
By default, Android 16 (Baklava) and later versions won't display the On-Screen keyboard if a physical keyboard is connected. When enabled, show the Keyman system keyboard even if a physical keyboard is connected.
|
|
|
|
## Spacebar Caption
|
|
Click on this to [change the displayed keyboard name](spacebar-caption) on the spacebar.

|
|
When enabled, the Keyman app will display the 'Get Started' screen on app startup.
|
|
|
|
## Allow sending crash reports over network
|
|
When enabled, the Keyman app will send crash reporting information to [Sentry](https://keyman.sentry.io). No personally identifiable information or keyboard strokes are recorded. |
