Hackers Keyboard has that via ctrl+z, but only in horizontal mode. For this only i had my Galaxy S3 in horizontal per default. But can't do that with modern phones' aspect ratio and i'm missing undo since then.

Edit: i'll go with Heliboard for now.

Love that keyboard, just wish it handled several languages gracefully

if you could get used to it, thumbkey has this feature.

Heliboard, if you hit that little ">". Highly recommended as it works well and one doesn't need the google keyboard. Can also do multiple languages at once.

This has been one of my major complaints moving from iOS to Android, iOS has (had?) the "shake phone to undo", and I used it often. So far no keyboard I like enough to use as my main has had undo easily accessible, it annoys me several times a week.

You can pin buttons too. I have left/right cursor arrows and clipboard buttons pined. Super handy for me.

Undo is a function of the Android API, not the keyboard. All phones can do it. It is usually the app's responsibility to implement its button because the feature extends beyond the realm of text input.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Some keyboards suggested here can do it tho, since most apps with text input don't implement undo.

i think hackers keyboard had a semi full layout option for enabling ctrl keys and such on portrait, though you need a decently large phone for that.
