Hacker's keyboard is what lots off programmers and sys admins use, and

Thanks.  I can't promise it will happen quickly, gotta sort out a logo
and stuff.  There's no toybox logo, is there?  Hopefully something
that doesn't look like a kids toybox so it stands out from that crowd
in the app store.

Well, credit where credit is due.  Though I think considering how the
search results are displayed might be best to leave my name off it to,
so it's nice and short and obviously not a bunch of toys for young
children.  "toybox installer" should do the trick.
