Quick Start
Two quick imports, then try it.
You’ll start in the Familiar view: it looks like the keyboard you know, with starter shortcuts and launchers already built in.

SpeedKee works with gesture navigation. While you set things up, some people find Android’s 3-button navigation easier for Back, switching screens, and returning to the keyboard.
On many phones, including Samsung, it’s in Settings under Display, Navigation bar, or System navigation. You can switch back later.
