Use more familiar defaults

Open jwkwshjsjsj opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

Unexpected Keyboard should use default settings that are more familiar to users switching from other keyboards. The default height of the keyboard is more than other keyboards by default for example.

The bad default height is tracked by these issues: https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/issues/924 https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/issues/950 I haven't made the change yet because the height calculation must be reworked entirely and it's not just a constant to change.

What other bad defaults do you have in mind ?

Key spacing could also be changed. I think FlorisBoard's default settings are comfortable and fast to type with. You should use similar defaults to what FlorisBoard uses.

The label size of keys should be determined by the user's selected font size unless the user has manually changed it

The maximum key spacing options should have higher maximum values.
