This is on our road map, but requires some other work to be completed first (primarily shifting to JSON based layout definitions, to allow 3rd party layouts to be distributed securely via click packages)

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...
