GOOD TO KNOW

A few common questions.

Do I need to enable Full Access?

No. Typing, layout settings, and emoji work without Full Access. You may enable it for optional key sounds. This iOS permission also expands network capability, but KgBoard’s keyboard makes no network requests.

Why can’t I find KgBoard in the keyboard picker?

First add it in Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard…. Then return to an ordinary text field, hold the globe key, and select KgBoard. If it was just added, dismiss and reopen the keyboard. If the issue continues, email support.

Why did another keyboard appear?

iOS uses its own keyboard for password and phone-pad fields. Some apps disable third-party keyboards. Return to a normal text field in a compatible app and choose KgBoard with the globe key.

How do I see all 36 letters at once?

Choose All letters or Alphabetical in the app’s Settings tab, then reopen the keyboard. Both show all 36 Kyrgyz Cyrillic letters as individual keys. Recommended has 31 base keys plus five hold extras, with dedicated ң, ө and ү keys.

How do customization and extra letters work?

In Settings, open My customization. Drag to move a key; tap a key to choose its extra letters or return an extra to a standalone key. Save applies your draft; Cancel discards it. On the keyboard, hold a key with extras and slide to choose a letter.

How do Shift and cursor movement work?

Tap Shift once for the next uppercase letter. Double-tap to lock uppercase, then tap again to return to lowercase. Hold Space and slide left or right to move the cursor. Release to return to typing, without adding a space.

How do I find emoji?

Tap the smile key to open the emoji browser. Browse categories or search using English emoji names. Search stays on your device. The frequently used category uses local per-emoji totals and refreshes when you reopen or reselect it.

Does the keyboard need internet?

No. Typing and the emoji browser work offline. This support website and sending a support email need a connection; they are separate from the keyboard.
