Major Smartbar rework (#2012)

  • Smartbar layout changes
    • The Smartbar now has 4 different layouts to choose from: Suggestions only, Actions only, Suggestions+Actions shared (comparable to Gboard) and Suggestions+Actions extended (comparable to SwiftKey)
    • Each Smartbar layout has different layout-specific options
  • Changes to quick actions
    • Implement Smartbar actions overflow panel
    • Implement Smartbar actions editor panel, which allows to customize the order of the actions (#1612)
    • Remove Clipboard/Cursor row and add each of its buttons as a separate quick action
  • Other Smartbar improvements
    • Add tooltips on long-press for Smartbar actions (#1094)
    • Fix auto action expansion interfering with arrow keys (#1674)
    • Fix quick action icon size too small for landscape (#1781)
  • Changes to Smartbar theming
    • Default theme users: Nothing needs to be done, all changes apply automatically.
    • Custom theme users: Changes do NOT apply automatically! As such the Smartbar theming may look messed up, some surfaces may be transparent, etc. Please use the new default themes for reference on what can be themed, so it looks good for your theme again! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Incognito-mode (#2012)

  • Add incognito mode
    • Enables/disables itself either if the target app requests it or if one specific state is forced via Settings > Advanced > Incognito mode (#617)
    • If enabled this mode prevents new words to be learnt and stored in the personal dictionary (technically has no effect in this alpha release as there is no suggestions algorithm and no learning logic implemented, but relevant for upcoming releases)
  • Add Smartbar quick action for incognito mode (#153)
    • Effectively shows the state of incognio mode and allows you to toggle the mode, only available though if not already forced via Settings > Advanced > Incognito mode
  • Add incognito mode indicator
    • Shows inbetween the keyboard background and the key surfaces, by default in a subtle grey shade
    • Can be themed by changing the foreground of the incognito-mode-indicator rule to some other color in the stylesheet editor

Other changes

  • Privacy policy has been moved and rewritten. For you as a user nothing has changed, FlorisBoard is still as private as before. Please see the official announcement why this had to be done. You can read the new privacy policy here, alternatively you can find the link in the Settings' about screen or in the Setup screen.
  • Adjust and fix keyboard height calculation (#1561)
  • Improve sounds and vibration screen (#2003)

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 bug which is very difficult to address and no solution has been found yet.
