I’m not a teenage girl with thin fingers. For a man, even this key size is too small. You need to see what you are typing, but in horizontal mode, when the full keyboard appears and you can write comfortably, there are no input lines.

My tablets are very, very old and weak, although it is convenient to work on them, only smartphones are good and powerful, so I write 50% / 50%.

```
      There is one more small question.

```

I have a big old tablet with android 4.1, I had to install APDE 0.4.1 there. and the function of calling the system keyboard in written programs does not work there, in later versions it works well, but in earlier versions it does not work.  
openKeyboard ();  
closeKeyboard ();  
is there any other way to call the system keyboard in programs?
