Inlay 1.1.1 — faster, and the right stick joins in

whats-new-1.1.1.mp4

A speed update. I type fast and the keyboard felt a beat behind me, so this release is about making every press land instantly. The right stick also finally has a job.

What's new

• The right stick moves the text cursor. Push it sideways and the further you push, the faster it goes. Hold RT to jump whole words, push up or down for a line (or the start and end of short boxes), and in select mode it grows the selection. It's on by default and can be turned off in Settings → Typing.
• What's new. From now on, the first time you open Settings after an update, a short screen shows what changed, acted out on the keyboard in your own button icons. Once per update, then it gets out of your way. (Yes, the screen showing you the new things is one of the new things.)

Faster

• Typing no longer waits on the app. The keyboard used to stop and ask the app about its text several times after every letter. Now it asks once, when you pause.
• The highlight lands on the next key on the very first frame.
• Sounds and vibration run on their own, so they never hold up the next press.
• Holding a direction, X or LB / RB repeats sooner and faster.

Better

• The left stick is more precise: a lighter push, no dead spots on the diagonals, and quick back-and-forth flicks all count. A light push moves gently, a full push fast.
• Capitals after a full stop now work in apps that don't ask for them, like the Play Store search.
• Long tour pages no longer hide their last rows on 1080p screens.
• With Android's "Remove animations" on, the tour and What's new show still pictures.

Install

Install the APK over 1.1.0 and your settings carry over. The full button map is now in the README under Controls, and everything else is in the changelog.

As before: Claude wrote the code, and I directed and tested it on my AYN Odin 2 Portal. If something doesn't work on your device, please open an issue.
