Revision history [back]

Sailfish is surely an improvement over Harmattan in a lot of things. But, unfortunately, some things seemed actually better to me the way they were in N9. One of these things is keyboard layout switching.

I switch layouts constantly, since I type in Russian but use a lot of English words and acronyms. With N9 it took a fraction of a second to swipe the keyboard from outside of the screen, and I was ready to type again. On Jolla, it takes no less than 2 seconds: press space, wait until the animated list of layouts will show up (which is useless for me since I only have two layouts enabled), release your finger, and wait until the layout switching animation will finish. This lowers the typing speed a lot for me.

I'm sure that many other users (especially those whose mother tongue's alphabet differs too much from latin) liked the Harmattan's version of Maliit more as well.
