Add Swipe-Typing

Open Glitchy-Tozier opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Many keyboards have a feature where you can swipe across the keyboard, and it will input text accordingly. See attached picture for reference.

Do you think this is too much bloat or is it a feature worth implementing?

Keyboards that use this feature: FlorisBoard, ASK, GBoard, Swift Keyboard,...

I think this could work together with #7. You could have A and a in the middle and then use this to work even faster!

I think that's a few too many keys. We don't want to overcomplicate things here.

I still believe A and maybe #2 would be great additions. I do agree that overcomplication could be an issue here. Maybe there's a better way to implement these two? Possibly holding down a and then showing more options. Similar to u, û etc.

My plan is to add an optional key (near backspace maybe) that can be toggled on or off and can be a caps lock key, !, h, or so on

Wouldn't that be too much clutter as well? 🤔

It'll be disabled by default.
