Unfinished Business
Version 39.0 adds Thai and Hinglish, fixes typing issues in Ukrainian and Greek, and adds about 1 million new Hebrew words with prefixes. The new features are punctuation reordering and a separate SHIFT key.
Important for non-touchscreen devices! This version will reset your hotkey settings. Pressing "✱" will toggle between upper- and lower case, and holding it will open the Command Palette, while pressing "#" will only change the input mode. See the manual for more information.
