Hi,

Thank you for this great keyboard, much better than the stock one.

Could you please tell me if it will be possible to get these two gesture 
features:

1) When pressing a key and swiping up will make it a capital character, example 
press a and swipe up will make it A.
I now use the gesture "swipe up to shift", but it would be faster when the key 
becomes a capital right away.

2) Activate Caps Lock with a quick double Swipe up?
Something like: the first "Swipe up to shift" activates Shift and a second 
"Swipe up to shift" activates Caps Lock, third "Swipe up to shift" de-activates 
Caps Lock

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Mike

I'd like an option for this also. Perhaps also an alternate option to make the 
swipe up give the first character of the long-press set of characters.

Thanks!

Actually, another cool thing would be press a key and swipe up (no delay; it's 
based on distance) to get the first character of a popupCharacters, press a key 
and swipe down to get the 2nd character, press + hold to get the full popup. I 
used this in TouchPal a few phones ago, and it made typing MUCH faster. Don't 
have to wait for the popup.

The theme needs to support that, though, by showing the swipe up character 
above the main character and the swipe down character below the main character.

See Touchpal keyboard in the Android market for an example of a keyboard that, 
upon eswipe up from any letter, makes a capital version of that letter.  Upon 
swipe down, it makes secondary characters.  It's great.  This keyboard is 
great.  Combine the two and you have greatness^2.  There's no reason not to 
implement, and I'm not a programmer, but I'll become one to help implement this.
