Urik Keyboard v0.23.0-beta has been released!
New Features
- Settings (preferences + custom key mappings) can now be exported to a file and imported back later.
- Custom key mapping (long-press a key to type something else) now supports up to 5 characters per key instead of just 1
- Long-pressing a key to pick an accented variant now highlights the default option immediately, instead of only after dragging starts
Fixes
- Fixed several cursor/selection bugs: tapping or moving the cursor inside a word still being edited could incorrectly clear typed text or break suggestions
- Fixed long-press keys sometimes triggering their long-press action even on a quick tap (or vice versa), depending on timing
- The keyboard no longer shows spelling suggestions in fields where they don't make sense: passwords, captchas, "no suggestions" fields, autocomplete fields, etc. Typing in these fields is now also more reliable, since the keyboard no longer fights the app's own input handling
- Fixed a crash on startup that could happen if the app's encrypted settings storage got into a bad state, which could leave the keyboard unusable until reinstalled
- The number row setting no longer incorrectly affects the Japanese layout
- Fixed swiped words sometimes getting the wrong capitalization or an extra/missing space in apps that take text directly (e.g. some chat and search bars)
- Fixed the keyboard occasionally reading stale screen/orientation info when checking whether the device is folded
- The suggestion bar now scales properly with the selected key size instead of staying a fixed height
