Keyboard changes

I'll just list a couple of problems, bugs and ideas about the keyboard.

  • The hapctic responses seem unintuitive, inaccurate and overall buggy. Mostly because I often get double or no response from a single tap.
  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off word prediction.
  • The keyboard doesn't go back to the upper case mode after a dot and a space, except in messages app.
  • When trying to correct word written earlier, while the text prediction is on (line under the current word), you can't change the place you're typing to. It seems like it does but it keeps on writing after the last word.
  • The "confirming letter", or the bigger letter appearing on top of your finger while tapping, seems to not show every time on the letters next to the edge of the screen. eg. Q A Å Ä etc
  • The space button is too thin and the dot is too wide, and I keep on pressing dot instead of the space. It.is.very.annoying.

By Ozymandias - The predictions automatically create a space after a word. I would like this to be optional, as I have to use backspace if I want to place a period. (I know that way I would have to press space more, but that feels more natural than using backspace, it breaks my flow of writing.) - Allow for more than one language for the predictions. I usually write half in German and half in English.
