UI feature suggestion: display additional characters in the corner of the keys
A typical Android keyboard usually adds small characters in the corner to indicate what letters/characters are available if you hold the key for a longer amount of time. I believe that this could be useful for the toki pona keyboard as well:
in regular mode, you could display "," in the corner of the "[" key, ":" in the corner of the "." key, "!" in the corner of the "?" key, etc.
in sitelen Emoji mode, you could display the regular sitelen pona character for all the characters that are available, so they're easier to figure out and learn (especially since different operating systems and apps have different-looking emoji).
Great suggestion, I'll try to implement it in the next update!
oh, another idea: when a key is in an "unfinished word" mode, you could display the other potential words in the corner of the key (but probably not the same corner as the "hold the key for this character" hints).
