Gim: Keyboard Software

Designers can flick a mouse up to “undo,” draw a zigzag to “split clip,” or trace an “S” to save—keeping their hands on the pointer device instead of reaching for the keyboard.

Open the Gim Keyboard settings (usually from your app drawer or via the keyboard’s settings icon).

Common options:

| Setting | What it does | |---------|---------------| | Key height / width | Adjust key size | | Long-press delay | How long to hold for secondary chars | | Custom layout | Rearrange letters/numbers manually | | Theme | Light / dark / custom background | | Vibration on tap | Haptic feedback | | Show suggestions | Turn off for pure typing |

Launch GIM.exe. You will see a plain window with a list of connected devices on the left and a configuration panel on the right. gim keyboard software
