Feature description

Secondary symbols available on long press for added convenience.

It would also be amazing if we could customize the duration of the long press to suit individual typing preferences. Like said in #64

Why do you want this feature?

If are writing things that contains alot of mixed characters like email address, passwords, markdown formatted messages. Changing between different layouts can be annoying and time consuming.

And I found out today, that you guys have a keyboard. And I want it to be my main keyboard ♥️

It should be available as an option, like in Gboard.

Oh... I'm blind. Where can I find this option?

In Gboard, you can find it in Settings → Preferences → Long press for symbols.

I need this to easily enter - @ % #. Maybe display the symbols on the keys so the symbols long pressing each key display the options.

Supporting this as well, it makes it so much easier to type passwords and do light text formatting.
