It would be nice if alternative keyboard layouts were available for
Ubuntu Touch.

On Android devices I use the Hacker's Keyboard
https://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/ from F-Droid
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard&fdid=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard
as this allows customisation and easy access to keys such as Ctrl, Esc,
!, : and - and these are keys that take a lot of key presses with the
current Ubuntu touch keyboard (I use vim). In addition key combinations
such as Ctrl-n and Ctrl-p (next and previous channel in IRSSI) are not
possible with the current Ubuntu Touch keyboard.

Having said the above the gestures, double tap for tab, swipe up, down ,
left and right for the arrow keys is great and I now find myself trying
to use these gestures on Android devices...
