TapType v2.0 is out

@muchanchoasado I fixed so if you type an exact match to a word, and the variant of the word with an accent is actually more common, that variant will be suggested first. Obviously this will change as the keyboard learns how you type, but there was an issue where the exact match was always being suggested higher than the variant even when the variant should be more common, so thanks for helping me track that one down!

@fireborn I'm happy to help! I've never used prediction before because I find GBoard really cluttered and slow to use, specially if you compare it with braille keyboard. TapType's design feels more intuitive and fast.

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@muchanchoasado It was designed so that prediction is the primary input method, and the fallback only exists for those times when prediction is failing or you need to type a word that is not, in fact, a word, like obscure acronyms and such. As a result, it doesn't include a lot of characters on the keyboard face like gboard and others do, so for passwords etc just use another inputmethod.

@fireborn Sometimes I need to disable talkback because single-finger gestures stop working, but I'm totally sure this is Talkback's fault. Same happens with Advanced Braille and other keyboards that require direct touch. Last year I've discovered Jieshuo Extension, I don't know why they called it like that if its an individual app, that makes GBoard extremely responsive with talkback, but it only works well for a few minutes.
If you manage to finish your screen reader and the payd features are unlocked through Google Play, I'll subscrive or buy it for sure.

@muchanchoasado This is unfortunately a talkback issue. You turned on pass through in the settings? the trick is to tap once on the keyboard when you open the text field. it should say TapType keyboard. Then your gestures should work, so long as you swipe in the keyboard area. If you have trouble with this, making the keyboard full screen in settings might help.

[muchanchoasado@tkz.one]

@fireborn I have pass through enabled. Let's see if fullscreen solves the issue.

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@muchanchoasado remember that that will change where keys are. q-p will now be almost at the very top of your screen.

@fireborn Sounds great for landscape mode. Can you add an option to select keyboard orientation? I use the phone alwais in portrait mode but I think landscape feels better for this particular case.

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@muchanchoasado You can rotate the device and the keyboard will rotate with it. Keyboard height is configurable per mode in settings

[muchanchoasado@tkz.one]

@fireborn Thanks! Landscape works as expected, it's easier to make muscle memory in this mode.

@fireborn Oh some one on the Accessible Android crew ran into an issue where, if you switch to GBoard with the tap type accessibility overlay on, Gboard gets the same tap to type thing, which isn't what he wanted.
