Disabling long press characters

Done Typing & autocorrect fixed in 2.2

CEE TESTER ·

There is a setting to manage long press hints. There is also a setting to include more characters into long-press options.

But is there a way to disable those "hint" characters from long-press options?

If I long press a "T", I do not wish to see "5" within the options. I can hide the hints, but bot the action.

Maybe the title is misleading.

Allow preventing adding "hint" characters to the long-press options list.

As displayed in the attachments, I am not showing hints on my keys. When I long-press key "r", I do not need/want "4" to be there.

If hints are displayed it probably makes sense to show it, but if it is hidden, allow me to work without it.

@CEE so the idea is: when hints are hidden, holding R should show just Ŕ Ř Ŗ, without the 4.

I won't add a separate switch just for this. I'm planning a bigger change where you'll be able to set the long-press characters for every key yourself, so taking the 4 off R will be one of the things you can do there. No date yet, it's a bigger piece of work.

Huh, does this mean you’ll have to do it for every key individually?

It is an open topic, I haven't fully figured it out yet.
