klausw/hackerskeyboard — reverse-engineered prompt

I want an Android soft keyboard app like Hacker’s Keyboard, but brought up to date so it works well on modern phones and tablets. The main thing is the full computer style layout, with a dedicated number row, normal punctuation placement, arrow keys, and real Tab, Ctrl, and Esc keys, so it’s useful for SSH apps and terminal style use.

Please keep the classic behavior people expect from this keyboard, including modifier keys that can be used together, and support the existing set of international layouts as much as practical. If dictionary packs are part of the current project, keep that working too. The old code sounds pretty dated, so please modernize whatever is needed to make it build, install, and run cleanly on current Android versions, while preserving the look and feel as much as possible.

If some old features like language switching or popup keys need special handling on newer Android, fix them in the most reasonable way. You can check current Android keyboard docs online if needed.
