I love this. As a backer who will hopefully get my phone in the next few months - and who understands that the software is an ongoing piece of work - I am happy that I have the ability to put my money where my mouth is when it comes to asking for some feature.

I will probably mostly donate for battery life improvements, and other system wide improvements.

If anybody from Purism is reading this, I would suggest having "Software Keyboard" as an option - in particular I would love to see the keyboard become more suitable (than what I have seen in videos so far) for terminal usage/programming without an external keyboard. Think Hacker's Keyboard on Android, if you are familiar with that. Basically shrinking a full PC keyboard into a touch keyboard.



The recent versions of Squeekboard have a full keyboard like Hacker's Keyboard in Android. See: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/squeekboard/-/merge_requests/...
