Irrelevant characters for Polish language when using English and Polish keyboard
Senoy · iOS 26.6.2 · iPhone 18 · v2.1.1 ·
When using English and Polish keyboard some irrelevant characters are displayed, it does not happen when using only Polish keyboard, only on the EN PL combo.
Only following should be shown:
- a → ą
- c → ć
- e → ę
- l → ł
- n → ń
- o → ó
- s → ś
- z → ź and ż (two diacritics)

@Senoy this is how the native iOS keyboard does it too. apple's english long-press already puts those on there — on the stock keyboard hold
cand you get ç ć č, holdsand you get ś š ß. same slavic diacritics, and yeah, none of them are really english.the extra bit is that when you have PL and EN both switched on at once, EFKey merges the accents from both languages so either alphabet stays typeable without flipping keyboards. that's why the polish ones you listed are all there, with the english set added on top.
if you want just the clean polish popups (a→ą, c→ć … z→ź/ż, nothing else), running polish on its own gives you exactly that — which matches what you're seeing.
@efko Hi, thank you for reply - could this be converted into a suggestion for feature, so I could disable those extra characters from EN keyboard?
I understand that it's not really a bug, I haven't used stock iOS keyboard for a while, so I didn't know that it has the same behavior.
EDIT: I've seen just now your reply on Discord - I guess it makes sense, cause there are words that require such input, I guess I can live with it :D
