What's New in NômKey

1.20

October 8, 2026

You can type a period again. Full-width punctuation, which is on by default, had put 。 in place of the period on every punctuation key, even when you were writing Quốc Ngữ. It now applies only when you write Chữ Nôm, and there you can hold 。 to type a plain period. Double-tapping space right after a word now ends the sentence; before, it only added a second space. Capital letters take their marks. Quốc Ngữ mode capitalizes the start of each sentence, so a sentence beginning with a vowel or Đ came out as "Ddây" instead of "Đây". Capitals inside a sentence, as in "Hà Nội", are now kept instead of being lowercased. The key you type after a long press is no longer lost. Picking an accented letter, or holding space to move the cursor, used to swallow the next key. Doing either partway through a phrase also no longer scrambles the phrase. Suggestions for the first letters of a word appear faster. Sliding along the space bar now picks the suggested next word you stop on. "Reset learned typing" in Settings now stays reset. The settings screen no longer undoes the 喃 / việt switch you made on the keyboard. Turning a long selection into a picture no longer risks closing the keyboard. VNI has been removed. Its tone keys are digits, which on a phone keyboard never reached it, so it could not type a single mark. Telex works as before.
