So far I really like it. As with previous TouchPal releases, I still wish there was a way to add more alternate characters to the main keyboard (accessible by long press), but oh well.

How can I easily select a work for replacement?

As an example, I think it is crazy to switch to an alternate layout to choose a quotation mark ("), then go back to the main layout, type the word/phrase, then switch back again to end the quotation.

How can I blacklist suggested words that I never want? For example, whenever I try to "curve"/swipe lol, I get Loll.

Hi there! Congratulations for your great work ;) :)

Only one thing is bothering me when i use touchpal keyboard and it is very simple for you to fix it. In Greek language the symbol ";" is exactly the same as the symbol "?" in English and in simple words it is the question mark. When i use the ";" in Greek, touchpal automatically adds a space before it and doesn't add a space after it. Can you make the ";" symbol in Greek language to act exactly like the "?" symbol in English?

Thank you

Looks great, but there is one feature I am missing, that exists in Swype.
"Skip next space" which is used to combine words. This is very common in some languages, for instance german and swedish. In Swype you get this by swiping from space to backspace.
A deal breaker for me, so I guess I'll stay with Swype for now.
Looking forward to updates!

Great to see this. It's really nice. However, I have a half-second lag after swiping longer words like "problema" (Spanish). It looks like the delay is larger in non-English dictionaries. It can be lived with, but I switched back to Swiftkey to test and it has no delay at all.
Also, the swiping isn't good at all in Catalan language.

Also, some of the themes are beautiful! Although it looks like the suggestion bar can't be themed (the lines around the words are not "nice" or "elegant" :eek: ).

Anyway, great to see this! Keep it up

:)

Thank you for the feedback. We did a lot of work to improve the performance. It looks like we need to work harder:eek:

BTW, we are going to offer theme customization in the next update or the one after.

It would be nice if every language suported "TouchPal Wave - Sentence gesture", like Serbian for example. Otherwise I don't see why would I switch from swipe to touchpal :eek:.

    Thanks a lot for all of you guys' support & great suggestions.
    Sorry for the late reply, we were too busy on the release of this new version -- 5.4.6.

    Personally i used it as my default keypad for around 2 yr... but till swiftKey start support Hindlish ( mixture of hindi + english ) i have to shift to it. Its just a request if it is possible to bring something like this in near future, i will shift back to touchpal because there are several feature which i miss alot :crying:
    Thank you for the support. We have put Hinglish support onto our plan.
    Fantastic Job Man! I've always trying new keyboards but then went back to swiftkey. Finally i've found a better one, really better. I'm just missing two features: Long press duration option and the ability that swiftkey has to identify sentences when I type straight, f.ex ILOVEYOU, swiftkey automatically understand I Love You, but touchpal identifies as a single word, and gives suggestion for it. Congratulations for your work.
    Longpress duration is planned. Hope to be included in the update very soon.
    And about the sentence typing. We have this too. You can try 'iloveyou' or even longer like 'berighttherewaitingforyou'
    Hi Touchpal: Thank you so much for this great keyboard. I love it!
    I've three suggestions to make this keyboard even better:
    I've to change often between two languages and sometimes I start typing without checking which dictionary I'm using right now. After typing/swyping the first word I recognize that I'm using the wrong one. While the wrong word is still marked I'm changing the language by using the edited button left next to the space bar. This leads to that TouchPal automatically approves the wrong word and places a space behind it. I would suggest that TouchPal rather changes the prediction of the last entry to the now active language. That's how it is on AOSP keyboard right now and it works flawless and makes life easier a bit. Would that be possible or do you've a reason while it isn't that way right now?

    The second suggestion concerns the themes. I really like the light theme cause of the colors but what makes it far better than nearly every other theme is that the actual buttons are smaller compared to other themes. This leads to a bigger gap between the buttons and it's so much easier to look at and use it since it doesn't look crowded like the other do. Would it be possible to change the actual size of the buttons in general?

    Does TouchPal works with the CM theme engine? It would be great if there's one theme which adopts the colors of the current active AOSP keyboard design.

    Thank you in advance and keep up the great work.

    About the suggestion behavior when switching language. Your suggestion looks very reasonable, currently behavior is heritate from other situation, not on purpose. So we'll discuss and review this.

    About the key size. It's possible, but I'm afraid this won't be put on the plan very soon because we have had a lot of fancy stuff about the theme and keyboard appearance on the list already.

    About the native theme, it seems we basically didn't use the native stuff at all, so it's not likely we are going to support this lately.

    This is a fantastic keyboard. I constantly use it. Any chance of text shortcuts being introduced? Like @@= email@email.com

    Text shortcuts is raised by many users, and we made a simple on tablet version. We are planning to bring this on TouchPal X, too.

    By the way, the easiest way to save and input an email or website url is simply add it into your userword. Trust me, it's smarter and easier.
