TO USE THE KEYBOARD: (a) open main Android settings; (b) select "Language & input"; (c) check box next to "Morse Straight Key"; (d) begin to edit text somewhere; (e) pull down Notification bar, select "Choose input method"; (f) select "Morse Straight Key". On older versions of Android: (e) long-press textbox, select "Input method"; (f) select "Morse Straight Key".

This is a keyboard for your Android device that imitates a straight key, a device commonly used to send Morse Code. The straight key works like a simple switch, allowing the operator to close a circuit, and the length of time that the circuit is closed dictates the duration of the signal: short, producing a dot, or long, producing a dash.

There is only a single "SIGNAL" button which produces a dit when tapped quickly, or a dah when long-pressed, so your timing has to be just right!

Features two modes:

- Practice: tap the SIGNAL button for a dit, long-press for dah. After composing a character, tap the GAP button to "transmit" the character (short gap), or long-press to transmit the character and a space (medium gap).

- Realistic: same as practice mode, but now the system decides what is a dit and what is a dah based on how long you hold down the SIGNAL button. Gaps are inserted automatically between your signals. You can adjust the timing for your own fist in the menu.
