[Suggestion]: Disable languages in the keyboard language switcher [duplicate]
asked 2014-02-09 13:06:22 +0200
In the on screen keyboard you can press space for a while and get a list of supported languages, most people will not have need of seeing them all, you will only use those languages you know which in most cases would be like English and your native language, having 5-6 other languages as options are just stupid.
Only display languages the user has enabled (should be a configuration where you select enabled languages, also a neutral option which can be used without word suggestions and custom keyboard layout).
So if I choose to display English, Finnish and Swedish, then when holding the space for a while, I should only see those three options (no Russian, German or so...).
If possible, it had been nice to have the feature from Android keyboard, making a swipe movement on the space would change to the next/previous language.
i totally agree with all of your suggetions!
