  What if we use the space bar for moving the text cursor horizontally or even 
vertically.
  Currently, moving the cursor is quite hard and inaccurate.
  Space bar is quite big and makes it a good place to swipe to move the cursor.
  With this approach, we're not using more space and instead use a big part of 
the keyboard that is only there mostly for inserting spaces. The sensitivity is 
critical though because you don't want unintended movement of the cursor but I

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1566172] Re: [SUGGESTION] Use the space bar for moving the text cursor

2017-03-23 Thread Michael Sheldon 
Daniel - This is OSK specific, the final implementation of this doesn't
interfere with normal space input (it activates only on a long press on
the OSK's spacebar), there's a slightly old video of this functionality
in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FYbtyweMs8 (the visuals
and some of the movement thresholds have changed a bit since that video
was taken but the broad idea remains the same). It's currently in silo
2386 if you fancy playing with it yourself.

2017-03-22 Thread Daniel van Vugt 
Can you be more specific? I'm wondering how this would work in dialogs
where it's theoretically possible that you want to enter text in a text
box starting with a space. How would you do that without losing focus?

Is this an OSK-only feature request?

2016-04-29 Thread Kugi Eusebio 
One of the versions I did is triggered by immediate swiping. So far it
doesn't interfere with its original function (double tap for period and
space). It has sensitivity problems though. Maybe that could be
considered as an option.

2016-04-29 Thread Michał Sawicz 
Just a caveat: the space has the current language written on it, which
might suggest long-pressing it will get you something related to that
(that's what it does on other platforms). Maybe we can differentiate
between a horizontal drag and a long press.

Wonder if double-tap-drag could give us text selection on top of that
(could be tricky to differentiate between all the different modes - but
maybe it's doable).

I created a little hack and uploaded it in launchpad [1].
It can be used to see how this can be implemented and how useful it can be in 
different use cases.
For now, I'm enjoying this feature on my phone/tablet  :)

2016-04-05 Thread Michael Sheldon 
That's an interesting idea; we can send left/right cursor key presses
from the keyboard to implement this without needing changes to other
components, so it wouldn't be a particularly invasive change. I'll pass
this along to the design team to see what they think

Thanks!
