Original release notes

What's New in Version 1.1

  New Features

  Trackpad Cursor Movement
  Press and hold the spacebar, then drag your finger to move the cursor through your text — just like the default iOS keyboard. Supports movement in all directions: left/right moves by character, up/down jumps by line.

  Caps Lock
  Double-tap the shift key to lock capitalization. The shift key displays ⇪ with an inverted appearance when caps lock is active. Tap shift once to turn it off.

  Continuous Delete
  Press and hold the backspace key to delete continuously. Deletion starts slowly and accelerates the longer you hold, making it easy to delete large amounts of text quickly.

  Improvements

  Performance Optimizations
  - Layer switching (shift/symbols) is now significantly faster with in-place title updates
  - Cached colors and sizing calculations reduce redundant work during layout
  - Removed unused code for a smaller, leaner extension

  Visual Polish
  - Keyboard background is now transparent, blending seamlessly with the system keyboard area

  Bug Fixes

  - Fixed auto-capitalization not working when the keyboard first appears in an empty text field
