What I'd love to see is something comparable to the long-hold punctuation that's been available on Android keyboards (Swiftkey definitely, I think it used to be on Swype) for probably most of a decade. Heck, even having the ability to have a number row would be nice.
I love that I can type my password at phone start without having to change keyboard screens multiple times. Doing the same on iOS with the native keyboard would require at least 6 context switches.
I can predict one unverifiable thing from the (still!) state of the iOS keyboard: Steve Jobs had a sh*tty password.
- voltaireodactyl 4y agoHeads up: you can swipe from the shift or symbol key to any other key on the iOS keyboard to shortcut to the alternate outputs (eg “g” becomes either “G” or “(“) Which I believe is what you’re after.
- fencepost 4y agoYeah, still pales in comparison to SwiftKey on Android. Quick, without looking, which keys do you swipe to for ~ or _? On Android I long hold either E or Z, visible on the key.
- aidenn0 4y agoI don't own an iPhone, but most of my family does. One weird thing is that you can input numbers without a context-switch on an iPad, but (as far as I can tell) you can't on an iPhone; drives me a bit mad.
