A Swype Keyboard… No news from “Magic Keyboard” project … :( – http://jollafr.org/video-un-developpeur-cree-un-clavier-swype-pour-sailfish-os/
swype is useless and hidden keyboard whit hardware is obvious! the most voted are foolish!
I’m just surprised the “autocorrect” feature isn’t in the top 5!
I’m surprised nobody suggested these two ideas:
– When you erase a capital letter, the keyboard should switch CAPS on again: 99% of the time if you mistype a capital letter, your correction will also be a capital letter.
– Undo option after word completion (maybe to right of completion list?), to put you back to whatever letters you’d typed before: I find I frequently tap where the word I wanted *was* just before the latest update to the candidate words list, so get a random unwanted completion instead..
99% in english, but not in german. There are language-specific differences in handling capitals. So I’d definitely prefer small letters instead of restoring capitals.
Interesting; I did not know that. That doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be an option for English-language users though: either as part of the language definition, or part of the keyboard configuration options.
The dimensions of the Jolla (and overall cumbersome nature of the current keyboard) make Swype (or equivalent) utterly essential if the phone is to have a future in my opinion.
As said many, many times before: A phone that is based entirely on gestures not having a text-input method involving gestures is beyond the point of daft.
I’m not sure if there’s context based keyboard, but even if there is it should work better and in more different situations. So if I type an url, it should suggest .com, .net, .org etc. (list should be editable) when I’m writing email address it should do the same and have @ available etc.
