Hi all,

half size keyboard might be good, I don't know how it will feel like, but in the meantime I just had an idea that I wanted to share with you.

For the moment, while flick type keyboard is on, the rotter gesture does not do anything. Why not use this rotter to temporarily dismiss the keyboard and go back to iOS edit features, until you touch the keyboard zone again?

What do you say?

Best regards,

JPR

Yes, I agree! What I am grateful for in this keyboard is the way it makes it so easy to type chunks of text of some length. I'm really fine with changing to the iOS keyboard every now and then for something specific.

Hello, 

 As I understand it, the half screen keyboard poses many problems and the final product may not be the total solution you are waiting for. 

 Those of us who use fleksy understand typing in a text field makes VoiceOver have delays and stuttering speech, which is very annoying. So, the current thought is there will be a half screen keyboard useful to interact with the various areas of the screen, but you will want to change to the full screen keyboard to enter the bulk of your text. This seems to be the best compromise that Kosta can implement. 

 

 There has been a Couple of attempts released to the alpha group which didn't perform as expected. Kosta is a steely eyed app developer, so whatever he finally releases will be the very best app possible. 

 

 I was one of the big supporters of the half screen keyboard, at first, but since I have been using the current version of FlickType I really have no problems switching between the full screen FlickType keyboard and the iOS keyboard. 

 In my opinion the half screen keyboard will be nice., But not necessary.

This will be a welcome addition and obviate the need for switching keyboards.

hello again.
It seems to happen only when trying to send a message to a WhatsApp group, not to a single person. I can't see why that would make a difference, but it does on my phone.
Cheers,

hi all.

In a WhatsApp group, when I enter the text field and select Flicktype as a keyboard, WhatsApp crashes. Then, I can't even access the text field any more but only in this particular group. If I remove flick type from my keyboards, I can access the text field again, but as soon as I add flick type again, entering the text field crashes WhatsApp. Strange isn't it?

Cheers,

JPR

But these two buttons act strangely sometimes.
When dismissing the keyboard, it happens that last lines of text are deleted, and when switching keyboards, it sometimes opens the control
centre. I'm using an iPhone seven with last iOS 11, not quite sure what is happening.

Best,
