Hi sailors,

I have a suggestion concerning the backspace function of the dialer num-pad of the caller app. At the moment the backspace button is located at the very top of the screen at the right side of the number field. I have no idea what was the intention of the placement of this button, but it is very hard to reach on big screen devices like the Jolla C.

Here is the solution: Swipe anywhere over the dialer num pad from the right to the left side for backspacing. Super easy for both right-handed and left-handed people! Indeed, backspacing could be implemented like this for the whole operating system, not just for the dialer num pad.

The idea sounds nice ... but I am sure accidental swipes to the home page will happen often ... initially ... I like the idea though, and you have my vote. :)

I thought about suggestion like this. Jolla already has implemented keyboard which is good as solution for this issue.

It looks like this http://imgur.com/a/shblB

It's without swipe gesture but with backspace button.

That would be convenient too. Where does this keyboard popup? I don't recall seeing this type before.
