Access extended popup characters by tapping

Open eandersons opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I am using AnySoftKeyboard for a while now and one feature I really like and am used to is to access extended popup characters (actually only the first one) by double tapping. I cannot find if this behaviour is controlled by some setting, so it seems that it is built into the Latvian keyboard (maybe in other layouts as well, but I am using this one) as additional characters for a letter can be accessed both by long pressing and double tapping. Additionaly, if a letter has more than one extended character then it could be accessed by more taps:

  • first extended character - double tap;
  • second extended character - triple tap;
  • and so on.

Coud it be possible and reasonable to implement this in FlorisBoard?

Thanks for the suggestion! Could definitely be done but I think not before v0.4.0 is released. Will add this to the v0.5.0 milestone!
