keyboard issues

Using Iiljoki Aquafish.

I have several gripes about onscreen keyboard and keyboard function:

  1. predictive text suggestion sometimes hangs or tremendously is slowed down making expanded keys hover and text not progress on fast text entry,
  2. the physical UI screen space taken up by the keyboard is wayyyyu too big, it eating up 40% of the Aquafish 5" screen, big question here WHY?!?,
  3. space between top ley row (qwertyuiop) and the paste icon and word text suggestions is tooo big, it doesnt need to be so freaking big,
  4. the keuboard within android apps often overlaps with text input boxes, it didint use to do that with earlier SFOS builds,
  5. Sometimes upon keybox entry select past, copy command activates instead of keyboard, related to alien dalvik issue or new SFOS browser text select function i believe,
  6. Space bar is too small and period can be removed by creating a double tap space bar period which woulf prevent typing periods all over the place all the time, since instwad of hitting enter i always hit period, thumb has to do yoga currently to make it into the very far bottom right corner to press enter,

Using Iiljoki Aquafish.

I have several gripes about the onscreen keyboard and keyboard function:function (english stock keybosrd, no patches installed):

  1. predictive text suggestion sometimes hangs or tremendously is slowed down making expanded keys hover and text not progress on fast text entry,
  2. the physical UI screen space taken up by the keyboard is wayyyyu too big, it is eating up 40% of the Aquafish 5" screen, big question here WHY?!?,WHY?,
  3. space between top ley key row (qwertyuiop) and the paste icon and word text suggestions is tooo too big, it doesnt need to be so freaking big,
  4. the keuboard big, make better use of spaces and optimize gaps,
  5. the keyboard within android apps often overlaps with text input boxes, it didint didn't use to do that with earlier SFOS builds,
  6. Sometimes upon keybox entry select past, copy command activates instead of keyboard, related to alien dalvik issue or new SFOS browser text select function i believe,
  7. Space bar is too small and period can be removed by creating a double tap space bar period which woulf prevent typing periods all over the place all the time, since instwad instead of hitting enter i always hit period, thumb has to do yoga currently to make it into the very far bottom right corner to press enter,
  8. Often times while in text input box when pressing and holding the back delete button it simply hangs and doesnt go past the first letter, other times when pressing and holding after too much delay it starts and keeps backspacing and deleting.
