Settings improvements

image

You can now export your configuration in the new Miscellaneous menu. This will export a file containing all of your settings, your personal dictionary, clipboard learned words, imported resources, practically everything needed to fully transfer from one device to another. Keep in mind this file may be huge if you imported large resources, you can work around this currently by just removing those resources before exporting. The file is actually just a .zip file renamed to .bin extension due to some Android limitations. So if you want to inspect it (e.g. to access raw clipboard json), you can rename it to .zip and open it.

Another new addition is a search button in the settings menu. Instead of manually navigating through dozens of submenus to find an option, you can now search for the option you're looking for! Try searching "resize", "hints", etc. Everything except the options in developer menu are searchable.

Some options have been moved around as a result of the new search functionality. There used to be some duplicate settings to make them easier to find, but the search now replaces the need for this.

The other major new addition to search is the actions category. Here you will find new simple toggles to disable the emoji key, or replace it with language switch key with one click. You will also find new clipboard manager settings, where you can configure the duration, amount, and whether to keep sensitive clips. This menu is planned for expansion in the future.

Translation

Most of the app is now translatable! Machine translation has been added for some languages, and some have already contributed translations. If you're interested in helping out translation, we have a new translation platform powered by Mozilla's Pontoon: https://i18n-keyboard.futo.org/

Open an issue if you want to request to be added to a team, or if you want to request machine translation (it can be a good starting point for a lot of languages).

The credits menu has also been updated to better display contributors who have helped out with translations or contributed to the app in other ways.

Translations contributed so far: Brazillian Portuguese (lucasmz-dev), Polish (Witek)

Other

The suggestion bar will now let you quickly paste recently copied entries. There's also simple detection for URLs and OTPs.

The keyboard should be better at learning and suggesting words you previously typed.

A high contrast theme has been added with bright yellow keys on a black background. It's intended to be used with key borders enabled.

Thank you to these people for contributing to the layouts repo!

Thank you to these people for contributing code!

Miscellaneous:

  • The language switch menu now also lists other keyboards for easy switching
  • Option to adjust enter key volume (ignored due to system limitation on Samsung devices and maybe some others)
  • Improved currency behavior. Having a European language active should default to Euros, other languages should similarly have reasonable values
  • Fixed clipboard manager duplication and corruption
  • Removed the voice input setup step, in favor of defaulting to built-in and requesting mic permission on demand
  • Fixed a bug in spaces after suggestions mode
  • Fixed enter key bug in Google search
  • In multiline fields with a specified enter action, the enter key now has a long-press "shift+enter" that will attempt to insert a new line instead of finishing input
  • Fixed some input bugs
  • SDK update to 35
  • Settings corruption recovery

Minor announcement
