kboard

Keyboard with customisable one-click responses and powerful automation commands.
Do you hate people as much as I do?

Do you find yourself wasting time trying to find the right condescending message in order to get rid of them?

Then you need kboard - a keyboard designed specifically to end conversations. Don't waste time with all those other superfluous letters when all you really need is 'k.'.

* *NEW* Commands - a powerful VIM-like macro system for your own custom command keys /like this!5dw,i($0!!!!)

* Add as many custom keys as you need.
* Quickly switch between kboard and your other keyboards
* One-click send option for the pinnacle of laziness - no need to even press enter!
* Choose from 5 material design color schemes

It will literally save you hours of pointless talking!

With kboard the world is your oyster:

* Add your favourite hashtags
* Easily Italicise/bolden things in WhatsApp
* More powerful copy/paste automation with Commands
* Use to speed up github peer reviews (e.g. thumbs up, +1, LGTM)
* Add long names that are awkward to type
* Custom text emoji/faces (e.g. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
* Automate sweet nothings to your partner
