make swipe from period instantly bring up other punctuation #1135

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Entering punctuation via swiping from the period key is not as fast as it could be. In SwiftKey, you can swipe immediately from period to get to additional options.

Describe the solution you'd like An option to make swipe-left or swipe-right from the period immediately bring up the popup punctuation menu. Similar to the swipe on the symbol key, perhaps?

Use case Fairly self explanatory. As far as I can see, this doesn't interfere with any other functionality. Swipe left and right on period currently do nothing special.

Describe alternatives you've considered (if any) Shortening the key long press delay, but this has many downsides.

On a little further reading it seems like this is probably covered by the in-progress key swipe enhancements (though perhaps is useful as an example of how those enhancements could be put to use?). Please close this if it's just adding additional noise.

I don't think this is covered, but opening popups on swipe is a thing that should be considered.
