I wanted tone diacritics and I got ‘em

In my last review for this keyboard, I mentioned that I ended up having to install a different one temporarily because I needed to input tone diacritics recently. The dev replied that they would be added in a future version, perhaps a month or two away. Surprise! Less than a month later, I’ve got my tone diacritics.

Does this mean the dev will also add the Younger Futhark to his other keyboard ahead of schedule? I’ll just have to wait and see.

Response from developer

Hi CdrSpock, thank you for your rating. Characters to indicate the level tone are included but what is missing are the characters to indicate the contour tone and, as you mentioned, tone related diacritics. The main keyboard layout is crammed already. I will consider the addition of the missing tone related diacritics and characters, moving all suprasegmentals to the brackets keyboard layout. I am currently working on a different app, though, which I need to finish first. Expect a new version of IPAKeys in about two months. Funny coincidence: I am currently looking into Thai. Update 12-Mar-2021: Tone diacritics have now been added and are available with Version 1.1 of IPAKeys.
