Spacebar long press

Post by nick.koutrelakos »

currently, when one long presses the spacebar, it enters a plethora of spaces.. as it would on a real keyboard. however, when used the swiping gestures, one often starts the swipe low (on the spacebar), thus entering an extra space. this could be prevented if the spacebar was made to act like the comma or the period.. when you long press the comma/period, it just pops up but does not actually enter it until you either touch another letter simultaneously or lift your finger up. I think the same thing should be done with the spacebar.

It's very easy to change. What do others think about it ?

Seconded, I've encountered the same issue with a swipe up.

Works well in the standard view, but changes did not propagate to the space bar on the symbols view, alt symbols view, or arrow view.
