Next-Generation Typing

This version fixes the crashing when searching for a language and in some other more complex situations. Among the new features are: re-editing words with Backspace, fast word deletion, easier composition of new words, and significantly improved suggestions in Predictive mode.

What's Changed

  • Bugs
    • Fixed crashing when searching for languages
    • Yet another attempt to fix the crash when switching to another keyboard (the Privileged Options problem)
    • Fixed incorrect enforcing of lowercase when typing compound words like 'CD-ROM'
    • Fixed the "il n'y a pas" problem. Single letters were sometimes suggested in alphabetic order instead of by popularity when typing them right after a punctuation mark.
    • (#603) Fixed mixed Dialer/Contacts app always being detected as a dialer, even when it has a text field. This used to make searching for contacts impossible on Cat S22 Flip.
    • (#579) Fixed various issues when typing in Ukrainian
    • Fixed several broken links on the Help screen.
  • Features
    • (#374) Auto space improvements
      • Space is added at the end of a line when this is not the last line.
      • Space is added after digit+currency
      • Space is no longer added after digit+colon making it easier to type time. E.g. "12:30" does not get converted to "12: 30".
    • Backspace improvements
      • (#408) Added a "Fast Delete" option to delete entire words by holding or swiping Backspace.
      • (#534) Added a recomposition option, which allows re-editing words with Backspace.
    • Easier and more clear new word composition. When composing new words, they are now displayed as: "stem... ", and the options: "... +a", "... +b", "... +c", instead of entire words, "stema", "stemb", "stemc" mixed with all other suggestions.
    • (#184) Enhanced word suggestions in Predictive mode. Besides remembering the most frequently used words, TT9 now remembers how words are used together, in pairs. This eliminates the problem of suggesting the same words for a given number combination twice in a row. For example, English: on/no, go/in, am/an, good/gone/home; French: je/le, me/ne; Bulgarian:за/да, се/те; Besides this, it improves the suggestion accuracy in general, making for the best typing experience among all available T9 keyboards at the moment.
    • Reduced the number of words+punctuation combinations only to the punctuation that makes sense
    • Reorganized the typing settings. The Predictive and ABC mode settings are on separate screens now.
    • Reorganized the Debug screen and moved the log messages to a separate screen.
    • Removed the TAB key.
  • Technical
    • Upgraded com.android.application 8.5.2 -> 8.6.0
    • Renamed all SoftKeys for consistency and removed the unused SoftTextEditKey.
