Containers

Containers are expandable groups of soft keys. A container appears as a single button on the main bar — tap it to open a panel with its child keys.

How containers work​

  • Tapping a container button opens its panel above the soft key bar
  • Tapping it again (or tapping a different container) closes it
  • Only one container can be open at a time
  • Child keys behave exactly like keys on the main bar — they support modifiers, hold-to-repeat, and all other key behaviours
  • Containers cannot be nested inside other containers

Creating a container​

In the settings panel, under the soft key editor:

  1. Tap Add container
  2. Enter a label — the text shown on the button (e.g. Extra)
  3. Add child keys by selecting from built-in keys, custom keys, or single characters

Default container​

The default mobile profile includes one container:

Extra — contains the system meter, Ctrl+C, Home, End, and arrow keys. This keeps the main bar focused on the most-used modifier keys while providing easy access to navigation keys when needed.
