Haptic feedback does not work

Describe the bug
Even though the haptic feedback option is enabled in the settings, there's no haptic feedback. This happens on a OnePlus 7T, running OxygenOS 12.1 (Android12).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Ensure that haptic feedback is enabled in the settings.
2. Type some text.
3. Observe that no haptic feedback is provided.

Its an android system issue, go to your android settings -> vibration and haptic strength -> touch feedback ON

It might be worth adding a comment under this setting that it must also be enabled in the system settings. This isn't the fault of this app but it is a common point of confusion with apps that have their own haptic settings.

[dessalines]

I'm not sure of a less verbose way to say that for the setting.

[alerque]

Right now the setting reads:

Vibrate on tap

I would propose a byline on that setting much like the settings above it have

Vibrate on tap

(requires touch feedback to be enabled in system settings)

If it is possible to query the system setting status, the setting could be greyed out in the event the system setting is enabled and the byline could read "disabled via system touch feedback settings", and no byline at all would be required if the system setting was on anyway.

I wonder if there is an alternative way to generate this haptic feedback even if touch feedback is disabled?
The Android Game Vector Pinball is capable of triggering short vibration events even when the setting is off.

I'm sure there is. Personally I would prefer it respect the global default so that I can toggle them system-wide from a tile and/or notification profile. I don't appreciate it when apps don't respect the system settings and do their own thing.

Well, then this option should be removed, as it does exactly that, doesn't it?

[alerque]

No. This option allows the ability to not have feedback for the keyboard even if the system level general feedback option is on.

Edit: Perhaps it should be renamed and that would help the clarity. The default could be on, and the setting could be to "disable" it in the event the system setting was on.

@alerque This seems like the best solution to me.
