🧪 LeanType 4.2.7 Beta (Build 5)

✨ Added

• Storage & Cache Management Screen: Dedicated management screen under Plugins & Capabilities providing categorized storage breakdowns (Dictionaries, Voice Models, Translation Models, Handwriting Models, Layouts, Backups, Caches), one-tap cache cleaning, and selective category purging.
• Word-by-Word Delete Swipe Gesture: Added a dedicated option and gesture engine for word-by-word swipe deletion on the backspace key, allowing smooth deletion of entire words at a time.
• Configurable Suggestion Count: Added a setting in Suggestions to customize the number of displayed candidate words in the suggestion strip (from 3 to 7 candidates).
• Configurable Vertical Swipe Threshold: Added a sensitivity slider (10 dp to 60 dp) in Gesture Typing settings to customize the trigger distance for spacebar and toolbar vertical swipe gestures.
• Personal Dictionary Sort by Last Added: Added an option to sort personal dictionary words by last added timestamp alongside alphabetical sorting (#548).
• Enhanced Gboard Text Editing Layout: Bundled an enhanced Gboard-style text editing layout as default, featuring dedicated Close and Action/Enter keys alongside cursor navigation.
• Modernized Welcome Setup Wizard: Redesigned setup wizard landing screen with a clean text card, feature highlights, and refined typography.

🐛 Fixed

• Spacebar Custom Popup Keys Grid Layout: Fixed a visual regression where custom popup keys on the spacebar expanded to the physical spacebar width and collapsed into a single vertical column instead of organizing into a multi-column grid (#569).
• Translation & Handwriting Storage Bloat: Eliminated redundant model alias duplication and purged redundant storage copies during translation and handwriting model imports.
• More Suggestions Swipe Gesture: Fixed vertical swipe-up gesture on the suggestion strip to reliably open the expanded "More Suggestions" candidate grid.
• Text Selection Auto-Dismiss: Automatically unselects active text upon toggling selection mode off or copying selected text to the clipboard.
• Non-Functional App Icon Hide Toggle: Removed the ineffective "Hide app icon" setting and deprecated broadcast receiver logic on Android 10+.

🔄 Changed

• Gesture Haptics Smoothing & Pacing: Gated cursor gliding and delete swipe vibrations to alternate steps (50% duty cycle) and softened tick intensities to eliminate motor chatter and battery drain.
• Continuous Backspace Acceleration: Refined hold-to-repeat acceleration curve and batched IPC deletion calls for low-latency continuous character deletion.
• Storage Settings Consolidation: Centered Storage & Cache management exclusively under the Plugins & Capabilities hub for a streamlined settings hierarchy.
