Inlay 1.2.0 — Words, accents, sounds and the device in your hands

whats-new-1.2.0.mp4

The biggest update so far. Inlay now suggests words and learns yours, puts accents one hold away, tidies small slips as you type, and knows what you're holding. All nine sound packs were remade, and Settings, the tour and What's new got a new look in your own colour.

Typing

• Word suggestions in all 11 languages, and they learn the names and game titles you use (on your device only).
• Hold A on a letter for its accents.
• Tidies up as you type: a lone i becomes I, and a space before a full stop moves after it. Each has a switch.
• An optional number row.
• B closes the keyboard and nothing else, so your browser no longer goes back when you only wanted the keyboard gone.

Made for what you hold

• Pictures of your device that light up as you press, in the Button guide, the tour and What's new.
• A new Device tab, with Try your buttons.
• Automatic recognises handhelds like the AYN Odin, Retroid Pocket and Anbernic devices, and vertical ones like the Retroid Pocket Classic.
• Works with just a TV remote on Android TV and Google TV.

Sound and look

• Nine sound packs, all remade and checked: Soft, Thock, Tactile, Typewriter, Felt, Chime, Glass, Pop and Retro. Soft Deep became Thock.
• Sounds play in silent mode on handhelds and TVs (phones still respect it).
• A custom colour you shape with Colour, Strength and Brightness, always readable.

Also

• Settings in six tabs, and it opens without the keyboard (press Y).
• Lighter on the battery, and your clipboard and learned words stay out of cloud backups.
• Lots of small fixes. The full list is in the changelog.

Updating: install Inlay-1.2.0.apk over your current version. Your settings stay. If you use Obtainium, it'll pick it up by itself.
