Can't run it on newer Android versions



Which, specifically?

I'm still using Hacker's Keyboard on Android 10.

Though I'm also largely relying on F-Droid for apps. Is Hacker's Keyboard not installable via Google Play, or not runnable?


Not installable on 12


Thanks, that's ... disappointing.

Alternatives?


AnySoftKeyboard works on Android 12 and 13 and has arrow keys available in one of the default layouts. I’m actually using my own customized layout since it was pretty easy to make one a few years ago. If you want a layout that is customized to your needs and has all the exact characters you need, I would recommend looking into it. I think it was just editing an XML file and building the layout in Android Studio (the layouts are installable as separate add-ons for the main app).
