Review summary

Programmers Keyboard is a highly customizable and ad-free app praised for its coding-friendly design and features like snippet usage and cursor navigation. Users appreciate its support for programming symbols and clean layout. However, several reviews highlight issues with the spacebar malfunctioning when cursor control is active, missing essential keys (arrows, colon, $, &), absence of a caps-lock feature, occasional freezing, and suboptimal key arrangement. These factors are recurrent themes among users, who generally value the app's potential but desire improvements to reliability and key availability.

Pros

Highly customizable keyboard layout, allowing users to edit symbol rows and add or remove characters.
Clean and professional design with no ads or pop-ups, providing an uninterrupted user experience.
Features that support coding efficiency such as navigation of code and presence of necessary programming symbols.
Ability to use snippets and cursor control to enhance coding productivity.
Widely appreciated by users including students and professionals for coding tasks.

Cons

Spacebar issues when cursor movement or swipe gestures are enabled, causing space input to fail.
Missing important keys such as up/down arrow keys, colon (:), dollar sign ($), and ampersand (&).
Lack of caps-lock feature and key pop-up previews, which are useful for typing accuracy.
App freezing occasionally and inability to re-access keyboard settings after first setup.
Some layout symbols are similar and could be better arranged for easier symbol placement across different languages.

2023-08-04	Md*****	Clicking the space button does not work sometimes. Please update. Will give some more updates. The following three layout symbols are similar. The first characters and second characters above should be swapped. Basically five layouts to change characters and symbols. Then it will be easy to place the symbols of any language. Then I think your apps will be user friendly.

2023-05-24	Et*****	This is the keyboard i have been looking for for years. I had to add a few things to the default layout to get it right, but thats why this keyboard is legit. Only thing i'd say is if i enable swipe on spacebar to navigate i cant use spacebar to create space anymore between words so if we could still type a space while using that functionality then im super happy.

2022-11-29	Ov*****	Very good. Simple and on point. Though, I couldn't find any caps-lock feature. Maybe I missed it. I'm fine with switching keyboards in case I need the rarely needed caps-lock toggle. Your keyboard's just too good for those symbols programmers need. Thank you very much!

2022-08-04	Sa*****	Overall a pretty great keyboard app. I love the ability to customize the 2 symbol rows, can easily customize the layout to my own style and needs. Only problem I have is with adding spaces if "Enable cursor control" is toggled on. Edit: I discovered what the space up top was for; it's for the snippets, and that function looks really useful. I'll have to play around with that function.
