Smart Keyboard Forum

Hi Cyril

I have two suggestions for your consideration which I think will benefit people.

1. One is adding a Live Preview while adjusting the height for our keys. A little bit like how we can view how a certain theme will look like without returning back to what we're doing.
Right now, its all a trial and error thing to keep adjusting to find the ideal height.

2. Another thing I'd like to suggest is a Profile Management system.
What this really means is the ability to create profiles with a few certain settings. Like a phone profile, we have a nromal profile for most users. Loud profile if we are in a noisy place. Or silent profile if we're in a meeting.

Right now for SKP, I wish I could easily switch by swiping across the screen whenever I need to switch to T9 mode. Because there are times when I only have one hand left to type because the other is being occupied, and I need to use T9 in these situations. And more so that I usually prefer a taller key height when I am using T9.

So I hope a profile management will help eliminate reconfiguring of all such option in different scenarios.

That's all for now. Thank you.

+1 for the live previews

Interesting suggestions. However you know that you can already switch to T9 with a swipe gesture, don't you?

As far as the live preview. It would make it easier to actually see the key height as your modifying it.
The second suggestion seems like it means that the gesture would change the key height - in addition to changing to a t9 keyboard.

Sorry for missing out on your reply. I really should subscribe.

Anyway, yes, I know of the swiping to T9 gesture support.
But T9 works best with a taller key height. However, it is quite a hassle to swipe to T9 and then spend the next few minutes adjusting the height, especially without live preview.

So I was thinking we could have a profile management system where we can customize and sage various profiles for everyone to easily swipe to.

And it doesn't necessarily need to be limited to just key height. Just about every option you have offered to us. For me, I'd create a profile for driving if I want T9 with taller key height. And another profile with a dark coloured skin if I'm in a low light area, another one with the mic input key, one with portrait fullscreen when I'm surfing forums like this and so on.

And all this would be even better if we could swipe to cycle between profiles.

Thank you for your time. All these are for your consideration.

Btw, love your latest release. Adding bottom padding helps a lot with touch sensitive control buttons like the HTC Desire HD and Motorola Milestone.
