🧪 LeanType 4.2.7 Beta (Build 2)

⌨️ Core Engine & Input Fixes

• Composing Backspace Acceleration (#510): Synchronized hold-to-delete acceleration across composing words and non-composing text. Suppressed continuous word suggestion recalculations during repeated backspace events, eliminating deletion stutter and latency when holding backspace.
• Physical Keyboard Layout Mapping (#559): Added a physical keyboard layout preference under Settings → Language & Layout with real-time hardware scan code translation (supporting QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Dvorak, Colemak, Workman, or matching the active on-screen layout).
• Boundary Whitespace Protection: Prevented backspacing after separators from swallowing preceding whitespace into the composing span.
• Text Expander Fixes: Ensured numeric and non-composing shortcut expansions trigger reliably upon typing space or punctuation separators.

🎨 Honeycomb Layout & Theming

• Dynamic Theme Action Key: Fixed the hexagonal honeycomb action key background which was stuck on static #2979FF blue. It now dynamically inherits your active theme accent and Material You wallpaper colors with proper icon contrast and borders.
• Streamlined Honeycomb Layout: Prioritized the authentic hex_typewise layout with optimized popup keys and removed redundant layout variants.
• Single-Entry Popup Keys Fix: Fixed popup key panel dimensions so single-entry keys are never squashed or clipped.

⚡ Animations, Haptics & UI

• Animation Speed Slider: Added an animation speed slider to Settings → Appearance (range 0.0x to 2.0x, defaulting to 1.0x, with 0.0x as Off (Instant)).
• Smooth Keyboard Transitions: Scaled key previews and popup panels dynamically; added smooth minimal entrance transitions for emoji palettes, clipboard history, toolbar toggles, and external suggestion chips.
• Modernized Haptic Engine: Upgraded feedback on Android 11+ with VibrationAttributes (USAGE_TOUCH) and composition primitives (PRIMITIVE_CLICK, PRIMITIVE_TICK, PRIMITIVE_LOW_TICK) for crisp tactile feedback.

🌐 Translation Engine & Global i18n

• In-Keyboard Translation Enhancements: Added default target language selection, source language controls, smart detection, and improved pivot model fallbacks.
• Comprehensive Global Translations: Completed 100% of missing settings strings across 25+ languages (Greek, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, Turkish, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Russian, French, German, Malayalam, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian, Czech, Hungarian, Simplified Chinese, Bulgarian, Estonian, Croatian, Indonesian, Hebrew, Romanian, Belarusian, Lithuanian).
