English (UK) language forces pound sign in custom layout about unexpected-keyboard HOT 8 CLOSED

Appears "under" q? If it is a swipe from q, you should be able to override that in your layout file to make that swipe do something else.

It may also work to go into Settings and, under "Add keys to the keyboard", uncheck £.

Pound sign appears under "q" key as key4.

I overwrote key4 then "£" appeared under "w" key.

I tried to do as you said but "£" was default unchecked under "Add keys to the keyboard" section.
I checked it and unchecked again but it didn't work.

This is due to the extra_keys system: https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/blob/master/res/xml/method.xml#L14
There's currently no way to override that, but that would make sense.

I understand.
Thank you for your answers.

yes, it would be good, if you could supress the extra keys.

there is a workaround to get rid of the automatic extra keys (which is not nice):
define every empty key as "", eg key4="" in your example above. there won't be any place left to put extra keys…

since your layout uses the same keys on most buttons, you could paste the same empty definitions to the end of most lines.

I just added the locale_extra_keys attribute in 3164215. You can disable this behavior by defining your layout with

<keyboard name="..." script="..." locale_extra_keys="false">
