FR: reduce/remove amount of text on spacebar #153

Open Chrizzle opened 12 months ago

Chrizzle commented 12 months ago

Hi all,

Herewith a minor request (say opinion):

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It is not related to a problem. More of a design improvement: I have recently enabled multilingual typing for Dutch and English. By enabling this the space bar notes "Nederlands - Engels" (Dutch - English). This is rather a lot of text, which looks a bit crowded on the space bar. (See screenshot). (A13, OBv7, AsusZenfone 8)

Describe the solution you'd like Improvements could be:

Use case N/A, aesthetical improvement

Describe alternatives you've considered see solutions

Additional context N/A

It is a minor improvement though. Overall I'm very happy with how OB works and looks now! 1000014613

When the text is too long, it will automatically switch to displaying the abbreviations. I increased the padding a little, so the text has a little less space (previously it could reach the very edge of the space bar). However I'm not sure whether this is enough to switch to abbreviations in your case.

I have tested this in v9. Indeed the padding is not sufficient to abbreviate (but by eye the padding seems also the same?)

Regards
