That is my understanding too.

Perfection :D Awesome job Cryril, never disappoint :)

Edit: One suggestion: Could you make the "123" key the same size as the "enter" key so that the spacebar is evenly placed between the letters? I know it's small, but I'm OCD :P

It's pretty much exactly how I wanted it. Thanks cyril.

Only a single request though: can you make it auto add a space after the comma (on the long press on the space bar)? I wrote this in the beta thread too. Grammatically, there's always a space after a comma, no matter how you use it. Would just save an extra tap on the space bar after adding a comma. I tried to use the auto text to do this but it didn't work. Thanks!

j'ai un peitt bug report pour la béta:
quand je suis dans la barre de séléction du destinataire d'un sms, la touche enter affiche le texte "suivant" qui dépasse de la touche
pareil pour quand je vais en édition de sms, la touche enter affiche "valider" qui dépasse également

Je ne sais pas trop quoi faire pour ce problème... Ce n'est pas facile de changer dynamiquement la taille de la touche entrée, et elle est optimisée pour l'anglais qui a des mots plus courts que dans les autres langues

Could you put the period beside the comma in the suggestions bar with the "! , @" etc? That would be great!

after a long thought, i really think the easiest way would have to have the " , " on the left of the spacebar and the " . " as a long press on that " , "
by the way, in the mean time, i put the dot and comma as two smileys so i have them both as a long press on the enter button :P

I must admit after using it for a few days, the long press to get to the comma is frustrating.

I'd much prefer to see an actual comma button on the left hand side of the space bar.

The double press of the space bar for the full stop is fine though in most cases. Although if we do end up with a dedicated comma button, it would make sense to put a full stop on there as the long press option.
