Hi Ashley and Coster,
I would like to see unlimited emojis, A half screen keyboard, and the ability to switch between half screen and  fullscreen. Also I would like the option of having the     numbers row   Always showing  at the top of the keyboard. instead of Magic capping in order to switch between numbers and letters

Kind Regards,

George Cham

Hey,
I know it's been talked about before but I would still like the sounds to be played on touch down rather than touch up..

 Hello kosta and Ashley, 
 
 I personally would like a half screen keyboard. Maybe 15 emogies. The rest is perfect in my eyes.

Hi Kosta.
My wish list in order of importance is:

Text replacements via shortcuts.
Half screen keyboard to interact with different text fields.
The ability to customize the symbols keyboard.
A cursor position announcement when returning to FlickType after dismissing the keyboard.
The ability to customize the colors and look of the keyboard.
I would also like to see the predictive engine prioritize the suggestions by past use. ( I don't know if this is even possible )

Hello again, I accidentally sent that last email prematurely.
I would also like to see the predictive engine to recognize context.

BTW I was playing with the reduced height option when I accidentally sent those last two emails. I was hoping I could send an email without changing or dismissing the keyboard, but no text was entered.
Would it be possible to have the text entered once a period is inserted? If that was possible, with the reduced height option, I wouldn't need a half screen keyboard.

Hello Ashley and Kosta,

I would love to see the return of the half screen or standard sized keyboard. I would like to see dictionary words show up in the suggestions list closer to the top or even as the preferred options. I have a couple of low vision friends and clients that would love to see high contrasts modes. For me the standard sized keyboard would be at the top of my list..
Thanks,.

Another thought, if the flick down and hold gesture could have an option to enter text without dismissing the keyboard, then I could send text messages and emails with the ability to interact with the text fields and the rotor.
Actually, this is exciting, all the features of a half screen keyboard without the potential of accidentally changing cursor position. I realize this is what you were going for with the first half screen attempt, but I think this may be a more elegant solution, at least for me... If it is even possible. 😎

Hey chuck and all,

I would like to see the standard keyboard implemented again. I like the thought process. Maybe we could see the two finger flick up send text to the text field... I don't know if this is even possible but you could have the two finger flick down copy and remove text from the active text field so that full text can be edited in flicktype with the current FlickType editing commands..

Just my thoughts...

Super appreciate all these suggestions! I've compiled a list for Kosta, so he can get back to us about feasibility and methods for implementing these.

One thing that I noticed did not come up is music playing while typing. I'm curious if everyone has been able to get music to play while they interact with FlickType? It seems to be working for some people and not for others.

Thank you!

Hi Ashley,
Personally, I do not want to listen to music while I am typing. I feel it would be too distracting.

Hey Ashley,

I personally don't find using apps while listening to music that enjoyable of an experience. Different strokes for different folks... I guess.

Hi Ashley and Ed,
40 years ago I had music on constantly, now I only listen in cars or when working out.

Hello Ashley,

I have been able to listen to music while I type fine. It I do not do it often but when I do, I have no issues.

Hello all,
Okay so someone posted... somewhere, that theyw ould like the swipe sounds back.
I totally agree. Now, voice over announces when a word or taps are
deleted, but I really do like my swipe sounds. Honestly, I'd take that
over voice over announcing it anyday.
I mean it could be like a toggle thing.
Also, the latest change you have, with voice over announcing certain
things at a higher pitch to me anyways, is a bit... odd. I liked it
much better before.
Just a personal opinion.

Wish list:

1. Half screen where all edit fields are easily accessed
2. Text short cuts
3. I would still like an option to be able to check the spelling of 1
specific word at a time. Having spelling on sometimes gets in the way if
you hesitate in your typing. I think Kosta mentioned a possible 2 finger
swipe to the left past a word to spell check and then a 2 finger back to the
right that would initiate the spelling of that word. In this case you would
not have to have spelling on all the time.
4. I too would like to have tap sounds on touch down rather that touch up.

Thanks.

Benny
