Settings UI rework
- Fix subtype show all button causing crash (#1436)
- Re-implement / Add clipboard history and Smartbar preferences
If you want to give feedback on the new Settings UI, please do so in #1235!
Keyboard logic and UI backend rework
-
Re-implement clipboard manager/history
- Full rework of clipboard backend
- All items are now stored in the app's database, so switching keyboards or restarting your device won't clear your history anymore.
IMPORTANT: even when restarting your device your items are kept, BUT there's currently a state bug where the items won't be shown until you copy any text clip or image and the database live connection actually refreshes. I am aware of this issue but currently unable to find a fix for this. - The clipboard history is not viewable anymore if your device is locked, making the contents of your history more secure (#1250)
- Add a note on-screen if the clipboard history is disabled or empty, so any confusion around if the clipboard history is actually enabled or not should be cleared.
- Fixed a lot of clipping issues with tap animations.
-
Re-implement Smartbar
- The Smartbar is now able to show both a primary and secondary row at once, allowing to access clipboard utilities while word suggestions are showing
- The secondary row is optional and can be placed above, below or floating over the app's UI when expanded.
- Add ability to flip the side on which the quick actions access button is located (defaults to left)
- Add auto-expand for the quick actions if no suggestions can be shown (configurable in prefs)
-
Re-implement autofill inline suggestions (Android11+ only)
-
Fix keyboard UI freezing when tapping on an area without a touch handler assigned
-
Fix keyboard input logic duplicating the last typed letter and/or replacing it
-
Reminder that the beta releases do not contain all features yet.
List of unavailable features (and when they will get re-implemented):- Theme customization (new theme engine and look) (beta08 and beta09)
- Glide typing (beta08 or beta09)
- Emoji view (beta09 or beta10)
- Landscape fullscreen input (beta09 or beta10)
- Word suggestions (beta10+, new suggestion algorithm 0.3.15/16)
Known issues
- When showing the keyboard UI after longer idling, it may refuse to accept touch input at first. If this happens, hide the keyboard
and tap back into the text field you want to type, then it works again. This is a temporary workaround, a fix is planned as
soon as the cause for this issue has been identified. - Clipboard history after restarting the device says it is empty, this is a display state bug. Once you copy any text clip or image all other items will appear again.
