It's possible to add feature to write capitalized letter by holding shift nad tapping? I realy miss that feature and I expected this because of multitouch support.
BTW. I tried Better Keyboard 8 and it have this feature.

Re: Hold shift and type
Actually it already works for one letter, but it's true that you don't see the keyboard change to upper letters when you hold shift.
Supporting this for several letters raises some problems, but if Gingerbread keyboard (BK8 is just a copy of it...) can do it, Smart Keyboard can do it too

Re: Hold shift and type
I had a look at this but the impacts of adding this feature are huge, and important parts of the app would have to be rewritten. I don't want to break everything else just for this feature, so there will be definitely no rush on this.
