Using the Banner on the Keyboard - Keyman for Android Help

About the Keyboard Banner

Keyman keyboards now always display a banner above the keyboard for one of the following functionalities:

  • Display suggestions (See "Using the Suggestion Banner" below)
  • Display a Keyman-themed banner so popups and gestures for the top row of keys are visible
  • Reserved for future functionality

Using the Suggestion Banner

If a dictionary is installed and enabled for the active Keyman keyboard, the banner will display suggestions that can be selected.

  • The banner can slide when a touch is held down to reveal more suggestions
  • Overly-long suggestions are partially hidden, but expand when touched
  • If a suggestion is selected while attempting to scroll the banner, it will not be applied

The Keyman Themed Banner

When suggestions are disabled or unavailable, the Keyman-themed banner will display instead. This is displayed so popups and gestures for the top row of keys are visible.
