[Feature Req] Hold spacebar to moove cursor #26

Closed axelcola closed 1 day ago

One of the features I like most about keyboards is holding down the space bar to move the cursor.

If I were to suggest an implentation, I would love if it were somewhere between Florisboard's smoother swiping and Gboard's tacticle per letter haptic feedback.

An option to enable or disable haptics would also be great.

I would love if we could have the cursor "stick" from letter to letter with slow inputs and switch to a smoother glide once the user moves across the space bar at sufficient speed.

It would also be cool if an iPhone-like feature could be implamented where after starting the gesture, the rest of the keyboard goes blank to allow for more swiping surface area.

Maybe you can close the issue. This feature is already there

You can already drag the spacebar to move the cursor. Note that tapping and holding opens the language switcher. Just dragging without tapping and holding will move the cursor
