Good but some notes
Keeble has the right idea though it's missing several things that hold me back from switching to it full time. Here are some suggestions:
- allow customisation oh the key click colour. Right now, keys only flash in black which doesn't contract at all with any 'light on dark' theme, something many VI users like me prefer. I like to have that extra bit of visual feedback to confirm where I tapped.
- Character previews. Many other keyboards have the character pop up in a larger form above your finger web tapped. This option should be here, the more visual feedback the better.
- Add some more built in themes that VI users commonly use (white on black, blue on yellow etcj, I'm surprised these weren't standard. Also, have some kind of visual preview for what the built in themes look like instead of requiring us having to jump back and forth between the full keyboard preview.
- Hold hey shortcuts. As seen in keyboards like GBoard, different letters are assigned different numbers and symbols that will be typed when you hold said key. For example, holding on 'Q' to insert a '1'. I think this is much more efficient than having to switch to the full symbols view each time.
- Swipe/Slide typing. Very common in many keyboards, words are predicted based on the keys you slide over. Very fast and efficient in either phones or tablets. It should also have a visual trait to help track your swipes.
- dictation. Granted I don't know how easy Apple makes it to induce but it would be convenient to have at hand without needing to switch keyboards.
Hope you might find these helpful!
