I've got three soft keyboards enabled on my phone, to choose between as needed.

Unexpected Keyboard is my default; it's a perfectly cromulent basic keyboard, that makes all the punctuation, ctrl/fn/esc available for comfy shell work.

When I need to type in non-ascii characters like accented letters, I have AnySoft available. And pwsafe has a soft keyboard in it to let me avoid passing my (exceedingly hard to type, long random) passwords through the clipboard.

I used to have Hacker's Keyboard in the mix, but Unexpected Keyboard has made it unnecessary.
