Anysoftkeyboard: Feature request: delete a word by gesture to left

Created on 20 Dec 2019  ·  5Comments  ·  Source: AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard

It would be more comfortable if there is a possibility to delete a word by a gesture to left or up.

It is confusing. I agree.
We can open two tickets:
1) change backword to delete word
2) allow single finger gestures from backspace

Makes sense?

This option already exists, but its name is confusing. @menny: we should _really_ change the name of "Back-word" to something more verbose like "Delete last word".

Tap AnySoftKeyboard in the app drawer to open the main configuration screen, then tap Gestures (on the bottom bar, second button from the right), tap Swipe left (or whichever you prefer), and choose "Back-word".

If you enable gesture-typing, you'll lose the ability to trigger actions by performing a gesture with a finger anywhere on the keyboard. You'll still be able to trigger them with two-finger gestures and gestures which begin on the spacebar.

OK, thanks 👍

For me the first ticket would be enough 😃

@menny

  1. allow single finger gestures from backspace

That would've been awesome.
