FR: Swipe for delete options #137

Open Chrizzle opened 1 year ago

Chrizzle commented 1 year ago

I have just upgraded to today's release. On A13 it seems to work very well! Good work!

~Two suggestions not related to any issues.~

~1. Would it be an idea to switch languages by swiping up and down on the space bar? This seems quite intuitive to me as languages are already adjustable with the space bar. But I think a swipe up and down would be faster, than long-pressing and selecting.~

~And~

Not sure if it technically doable but; I think it would be cool to have a feature that when you swipe the backspace key that you still have the option to 'swipe-delete' (as current), but that also two areas appear where you can select 'clear field' (clears the whole text field) or 'clear line' (it clears till the next period '.').

Regards Chris

Is this issue similar to #41

Technically both are definitely doable, it's only necessary to tell apart horizontal from vertial movement. I didn't check, but probably there are some built--in methods for this already.

Is this issue similar to #41

Maybe. In #41 it's not specified whether horizontal or vertical swipe is wanted.
