Better have Number key expansion characters Above instead of below number keys row ?
My iPhone.SE.2020 is usually in Portrait orientation – so that's where I use TypeFinity.
Now wouldn't Typefinity be even more user friendly to some of us if we [optionally] had the "Expansion" popup row from Number keys (top row above the main kbd) displayed on a higher line above the Numbers row, instead of having the expanded options on_a ~lower screen line, because the current ~lower~ arrangement has my hand unfortunately ~covering~ the popped up ~lower~ line of options (while I taphold the expanding Number key in the first place).Thanks for reading – writing from Belgium, Europe.

_Holding_ down Shift to turn Backspace into Forward Delete
A suggestion is that while the the Shift key (and/or the Option key), (as opposed to a regular press, or Shift-lock/Option-lock), it turns the backspace into a Forward Delete.
This would be a subtle change, and its presence might be highlighted to users by highlighting the Delete key in a slightly different colour when Shift/Option is pressed.
3 votesMainly needed on phone. Why only when Shift held down, and not just whenever Shift is activated? (And I don’t mean during CAPS lock, which is NOT Shift lock.)

include (sic) option in predictive text
There are times when I don't want to go with any of the options given to me on the predictive text bar: I'm fine with what I've typed in and don't want to replace it with the recommended word (the one colored blue) — or any of the other words on the bar, for that matter — but I also don't want to keep the recommended word from being recommended in the future, the way the “×” option does. This is particularly a problem with “i”: I cannot type “i.e.” without getting “I. e.” or losing the ability to have…
3 votesUpdate:
What about adding long-press of the ‘X’ causes the suggestion to be suppressed this time but not in the future? This is the opposite of the way Jon Lang suggests but users will be unlikely to discover long-press and their first priority is to “teach” the keyboard not to make substitutions that are not right for them. Aside from that, we don’t want to get into adding manual actions for controlling the dictionary because the goal is this kind of fiddling is kept out of the user’s hands. (Note, ‘ie’ → ‘i.e.’ and similar have been added as hard-coded shortcuts in English.
(Earlier comment):
The problem you mention is an annoying one. But I’m not sure about solving it by taking up a slot on the suggestions row for (typed) or “typed” every time there is an auto-suggestion. The constant presence of that item is one of the things…

Duplication of dictated text
I use Typefinity on an iPhone 13 Pro. I also have voice control turned off. When I have the Typefinity keyboard selected and use dictation, I have an issue with duplication of the spoken text. It happens a third to half of the time when I dictate. It appears to be a buffer issue, as duplication most often happens if I dictate and then type while the microphone is active, or allow the microphone function to time out. Duplication also can happen if I dictate a text message and hit send while the microphone is active. If I type while…

Press and hold with no up move should generate uppercase of the letter
I need a gesture method to get uppercase letters, especially since Apple text replacement doesn't seem to be compatible with typefinity. I don't want to use the shift key. You already have press-and-hold -- just make uppercase the default, that is, generate the uppercase when user does press-and-hold with no substantial upward movement.
3 votesWe'll consider this, depending on votes an interest. We would still need to make sure there was a "way out" if you just want to examine the menu and type nothing.

Improve Romanian layout and swipe on iPhone
Swiping from a letter to hyphen and back to letter to introduce the hyphen in the middle of the word. Romanian language is formed by many words like this.
I also suggest to eliminate the space between letters, there is need for these and integrate letters like ă, â, î, ș, in the Romanian keyboard. It's time consuming for a faster typing to press always the symbol button to pop-up these letters. These letters can be changed with the following punctuation marks: [, ', /.
I attached a screen shot from swype keyboard designed by Nuance where I found the…
3 votesHello, thanks for your feedback. Could you give some examples of hyphenated words?
Currently on the iPhone Romanian layout the keys you mention are available by tapping opt. Is this not convenient, or are they not in the places you expect? (Asking because we are getting ready to modify that layout in the Typefinity 2.x series.)
We do sacrifice some letter space for punctuation keys on the main layout, including ? and !.

Add shortcut to insert photo or sketch on Padkeys option bar.
I'd like to hide the Apple options bar with these shortcuts and just use the Padkeys option bar.
Of main interest in the Mail app are: insert photo and insert sketch.
These could be part of a submenu to not block too much space.3 votes -
hold-and-drag-down to access shifted character
GBoard (I think) recently released a feature where a key that produces a different character when shifted lets you access that alternate character by dragging down on the key. Now, this tends to conflict with your keyboard’s gesture-based typing (where you trace out words); but I think something reasonably close could be implemented by requiring the typist to hold the key as long as they have to in order to raise a popup menu; then, in order to access the shifted characer, they swipe down from there.
3 votesJust to note, this is supported already for number and symbol keys where the shifted character is punctuation or a symbol. Just swipe UP on the key to get the shifted version. We haven't done this for regular letter keys though, do you think it would be useful?

Please vote for this if you’d be interested in it on iPhone. If we did it, it would not be optional, but maybe phone model / orientation dependent. On iPhone 5 and 6 form factors (includes X, XS) there is not a lot of room in portrait mode, particularly now with emoji completions.

New Option Layout in Typefinity 2.0 - feedback
In Typefinity 2.0, released May 2, 2022, we've tackled a longstanding challenge and reworked the opt layout. Screenshots are attached, and you can read about the motivation and design goals here in our blog post:
https://naturaldesigns.software/blog/options
The changes have been rolled out for the most popular languages first: English, German, and Nordic languages. The others will come in future releases.
Please post your feedback on the layout here. It wasn't easy coming up with the design and though we believe the foundation is good it could probably do with some tuning. We'll make changes based on input under this post.

Case change and shift options
1) Four CASE CHANGE options would be HUGE!!!
2) Lock for numerical alt characters...as in making quotes and 3 successive exclamations—" !!! "—easy breezy.2 votesHi,
You can hold down shift to type " !!! " or similar.
What do you mean by “case change options”?
Thanks.

PadKeys crash with SIGQUIT
Since I installed iPadOS 13, PadKeys has crashed randomly with SIGQUIT. This apparently means that it has attempted an action the system does not like. This has continued with iPadOS 14. This doesn't seem to have any consequences, but is certainly incorrect behavior. I've attached a typical log, and my log of all the events I've observed. These events do not seem to be coordinated with the jetsam events. I have saved all the logs, and could provide them if desired.

Forward Delete at end of input zone causing BackSpace --!?#@%~§£&--
As reported in my AppStore Review of TypeFinity :::
****- Just one annoying remark these days :::
Forward Delete (( button immediately to the left of the spacebar on iPad )) at EndOfField ~→ inadvertently causes BackSpace. This can be demonstrated e.g. in the AppStore's top-of-screen Search field, and it's most problematic to me in AirTable, while also occuring at end of document in M$Word, in Agile Tortoise's Drafts, etc.
