Hi folks. I’d like to install a previous version of the Khmer Angkor keyboard for Android. I’ve persevered with the latest version but I just cannot get on with it. I’d like to reinstall the version before the one where you hold and slide down for subscripts (I don’t know the exact version number). Could you please send me a download link.
Very much appreciated. Thanks.
Ian
As long as you know the previous version number, you can access it by hovering over the “Package download” link
and copying that link. In this case it shows:
https://keyman.com/go/package/download/khmer_angkor?version=2.2&tier=stable
Then, look at the (HISTORY.md)[keyboards/release/k/khmer_angkor/HISTORY.md at master · keymanapp/keyboards · GitHub] and it looks like you may want version 1.5
You can change that download link to a prior version:
https://keyman.com/go/package/download/khmer_angkor?version=1.5&tier=stable
Thanks Lorna. Appreciate the tip.
Another way, which may be easier, is to go to https://downloads.keyman.com/keyboards/khmer_angkor
I think we do need to have a discussion on the team (incl. @drowe and @Lorna) on how to avoid this kind of usability change in the future – I missed it when the redesign was published, but it’s the kind of thing I have tried to avoid. It’s not that the new style of Khmer Angkor is bad per se, it’s that it’s a big change to usage and completely breaks muscle-memory.
The challenge with using an older version of the keyboard is that the Android app will prompt you to update to the new version every now and then. This is another thing I would like to resolve one day.
