German language: Section sign missing

Open Flnch opened this issue 7 years ago • 9 comments

On German computer keyboards the section sign "§" can be typed using Shift+3 so it is easily writable. In AnySoftKeyboard with German language layout I cannot see how to write this sign at all. I tried all buttons in all keyboard-views by long pressing on them. Inside the Android standard AOSP keyboard the section sign can be typed by long pressing on the pilcrow (¶). I think the section sign was simply forgotten.

I see § as a long-press of S. Can you confirm?

Using the English AnySoftKeyboard, yes. Now I at least can type it somehow, thanks. Unfortunately this does not seem to work in keyboard "Deutsch", "Deutsch breit" or "Deutsch breit+". In "Deutsch" there is no long-press action, "Deutsch breit" only offers ẞ and "Deutsch breit+" offers ẞ, ś, ŝ and š.

@Flnch which German language pack are you using?

menny avatar Feb 28 '18 18:02 menny

@menny I'm not exactly sure what you intend with language pack, "Deutsch breit +"?

I guess, what I'm asking is where did you download the pack from? Can you share a link?

Oh okay. I downloaded it from F-Droid. The link is https://f-droid.org/app/com.anysoftkeyboard.languagepack.german

Hi. While at it, I have exactly the same issue with Czech layout (also from F-Droid). On S, it includes the German ẞ (not needed in Czech) but not § which we use in every law (sometimes needed very much).
