1. Make the xt9 and caps lock indicators much larger, ideally the whole key cap
2. Option to hide the language key when you have no other languages enabled ... just takes up space
3. Option to make the preview popups show up at the same level instead of just above the key that was struck. I am constantly blocking my view of the just struck key with my thumbs and not seeing that messes with my touch typing.

Re: three requests
Then don't select any language in the language keyOption to hide the language key when you have no other languages enabled ... just takes up space

But as some (many) people are confused about this, I will change something for the next release: if you select only one language, it will also set it as the current language (otherwise there could be a conflict with the other option "current language") and the key will disappear

Re: three requests
I see the key is gone now. And the space bar is wider. Excellent.
I couldn't use this phone without SK, so thank you for developing it continuously!
I thought of another request that might be harder to express. I mainly use the portrait mode with the two letters per key cap and xt9 enabled. Sometimes there is a word that is not in the dictionary but most of it is. I can xt9 most of it but when I switch off xt9 to try to finish it with the one to two keystrokes but it doe bsn't work right. A good example is the word keycap. Jetcap is what comes out if I switch off xt9 after typing "key" by hitting jk de ty . A short word isn't a big deal to type without xt9. But wanting to add an s to a long word in the dictionary means I have to type the whole word without xt9.
Wow, hope that made sense.
