Quick Start: Simple/Familiar View

Install the familiar starter setup first. You can explore other SpeedKee views later.

You will start with a clean keyboard, a few useful launchers, starter text shortcuts, and an easy way to create your own.

SpeedKee does not need to be set as your default keyboard to install this setup. If you see Default, you can leave that for later.

Optional comfort tip
3-button navigation

SpeedKee should work with gesture navigation. But while you are setting things up, some people may find Android’s 3-button navigation easier, especially for using Back, switching screens, and returning to the keyboard.

On many Android phones, including Samsung phones, you can usually change this in Settings under Display, Navigation bar, or System navigation.

You can switch back to gesture navigation later.
