Rearranged Hlider letters with no repeated consonants on the left — easier to get used to. Macros for frequent combos, a custom symbol layer.
01
Type by sliding
Hlider is built for typing lots of text and code, touch-typing included. Large keys, few of them — letters, digits and symbols are entered with a tap and a short slide.
02
Letters, digits, symbols
One key holds two letters: the near one on a tap, the far one on a short slide. A long slide reaches rare letters, a vertical one digits, an arc symbols. Pick a gesture and see how it works.
03
Deleting and layouts
A slide on the delete key erases a character, a longer one several in a row. Rub back and forth like an eraser and it deletes a character per stroke. Slides on a single key switch layouts — to the last, first or any other.
04
Case and selection
An up-slide on Shift types the first uppercase letter or turns on text-selection mode. An arc slide locks Caps Lock.
05
Two halves on a wide screen
On a wide screen the keyboard splits in two — one half per thumb. Between the halves sits the infinity sign, the Hlider logo.
06
Alt layer: typography
The symbol Alt layer holds typographic marks and extra letters — dashes, quotes, arrows, math. All with the same sliding.
07
Ergonomic layouts
The “Hlider” layouts put frequent letters on taps and alternate hands. One-handed ones too. Everything is built in — nothing to buy. Switch and compare.
08
Text navigation
Move the cursor straight from the keyboard — by character, by word, to the start or end of a line. Return and circular slides repeat the step as needed. Horizontal navigation works on both iOS and Android; moving by line and page is Android-only.
09
Numeric pads
Separate layers with calculator and phone digit arrangements — for fast one-handed entry of numbers and phone numbers. Switch and compare.
10Android only
Clipboard and editing
Copy, paste, cut, undo and redo — with a single slide, the scheme depends on whether text is selected. These are the system hotkeys Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Z, which a keyboard extension on iOS cannot send to other apps.
11Android only
Modifiers and hotkeys
The modifier layer gives Ctrl, Alt, Meta, Escape, Insert and the function keys. Cyrillic letters map to Latin by their QWERTY position — so any app hotkey works without switching the layout. Emulating hardware keys is impossible on iOS.
12
Your own layouts
Hlider lets you build your own layout — arrange letters and symbols to fit your hand. Here are community layouts. Once there are more, we’ll open a shared catalog.

Letters placed like in MessagEasy — so you don’t have to relearn much. Some functions are duplicated to stay compatible with the original Hlider.
