Show toolbar when all text has been deleted

Open maruuk opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No, but it would make my typing more comfortable. This would also be compatible with the "auto show toolbar" setting, since once everything is deleted, the input field looks like when you open the keyboard, so the toolbar should be displayed.

Describe the solution you'd like After deleting all text, the toolbar will be displayed.

Use case I use the "select all" button, so sometimes I accidentally click that button and delete everything I typed. I can restore it with another button, but this requires expanding the toolbar, which is not convenient when typing quickly. By showing the toolbar after deleting everything, I could quickly restore it.

Describe alternatives you've considered (if any) Each time, expand the toolbar and click the "undo" button.

This happens in every app. After deleting all the text, the words I use most often are displayed, i.e. "a", "i" and emoji.

I turned off "personalized suggestions" and turned it back on and now it's fine. I'll see if the problem persists if the keyboard learns the words. Then I will record.

I thought this was intended behavior and that's why I didn't report it as a bug.

The keyboard learned a few words and the problem returned.

The app I'm typing in is Notally, but the problem probably occurs everywhere. I also noticed this on My Brain, Discord and in the browser.

I'm testing. So far it's working great. Thanks.

Or really any time there's no text (though perhaps that is difficult to determine). If I'm on a blank "canvas," I'm far more likely to find use in things like the mic and clipboard icons than in a few suggestions that very likely aren't wht I want and frankly I orobbly am not even going to look at. Currently I have those two icons pinned because of this, but could use that space to pin ones more useful when typing with this.
