[Feature Request] Swipe shortcuts for common actions - eg. change word case, select all, cut, copy, paste, switch numpad, change language #117

Love the keyboard so far! It would be a huge quality of life improvement to have quick and easy swipe shortcuts to perform actions. My simplistic thought is swiping from the keyboard button:

Swipe to key Action performed
Shift Provides options to change to all upper case, all lower case, and title case, for the word where the cursor is
A Select all
X Cut selected text
C Copy selected text
V Paste clipboard
N Switch to numpad
Space Change language

Probably not needed, but I spent 30 seconds in Gimp, so why not:

Nice Idea!

additions: Z | Undo Y | Re-Do E | Switch to Text Editor (?)

Thank you for your input! I was hesitant to suggest too many shortcuts, but happy someone else sees the value of this idea and builds on it.

When you say 'Switch to Text Editor', do you mean whatever the default text app is? tbh, I don't use a text editor on my phone. What do you use?

I meant the built in one: Screenshot_20240702-150507 Screenshot_20240702-150525

If we spin your idea further, all those shortcuts could be customizable. Maybe even with App shortcuts

Wow, that would be neat!. As always, I hope this would be an option.

Shortcuts are a major missing feature.

The latest prerelease has a creative solution for this, might be satisfactory for y'all
