The heck is wrong with your keyboard layout??!?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

ah

I'm using ColemakDH on my cell to train for when I get an ergo-keyboard, got RSI issues :<

Just buy a normal Ergo keyboard, Colemak has zero advantages.

I’m having some trouble now I tried to switch instances but now Firefox will not recognize either instance I add to the new search engine any advice?

Did you figure this out? I just added it this morning so I can tell you how I did it.

Haven’t had any luck fixing it

Ok, in Firefox go to Settings. At the top there should be an item called "search" with your current search engine listed. Tap that. On the next page it will say "default search engine" with your current search engine listed. Tap that. The next page will list your current search engine options, but at the bottom it will say "add search engine". Tap that. Then put in the information for your search engine. Mine is SearXNG and the instance is located at search.ononoki.org. So this screen looks like this (make sure to press save when done):

Screenshot of the Edit Search Engine screen on Firefox for Android. The name is listed as "SearXNG". The search string URL is "https://search.ononoki.org/search?q=%s" . The Search Suggestion API is blank.

I would add for the search suggestion to work (replace searx.be by your instance URL), use this URL in suggestion URL field in firefox

https://searx.be/autocompleter?q=%s
