Enhancing the spacebar sliding as trackpad

Done Keys, layout & gestures Portuguese (Brazil) fixed in 2.2.1

In my opinion, the spacebar sliding is too fast (even in the slowest settings) when you want to erase a specific letter in a word that was misspelled. Also, i don’t know if it is a bug, but the haptics are also nonexistent for me, which makes it even harder to go to a specific point in a word.

@vmcastilhone the slider was easy to read backwards: the number is finger distance per character, so the left end was actually the fastest, and slow, slightly shaky drags could also trigger acceleration. In 2.2.1, the next App Store update, it's a speed slider with the slow side on the left, the slowest setting is slower than before with no acceleration, and every character step gives a clearer tick. If you still feel no haptics at all, check that Full Access is on for EFKey, iOS blocks keyboard vibration without it.

Oh, thank you very much. I had in fact read the slider backwards. As for the haptics, I’ll look out for the next update, but it already kinda feels better. I think the problem was that it was so fast I couldn’t even feel it.
