⚠️

Why add a keyboard? Long-press (holding a key) shows variants defined for the active keyboard layout. On an English layout, not all Lithuanian characters may be available.

⚠️

Ė may not appear in long-press: The letter ė (e with dot above) is unique to Lithuanian and may not appear in long-press on an English keyboard. Add a Lithuanian keyboard!
