Every setting of the keyboard is on the one screen of the app, in this order. The settings cog in the keyboard’s suggestion bar opens it whenever there is nothing to suggest. Every slider shows its exact value above it. A Try it box at the bottom lets you feel each change on the keyboard as you make it.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Enable keyboard | Opens Android’s keyboard list. See Enabling and choosing it. |
| Choose keyboard | Opens the keyboard switcher. |
| Autocorrect languages | English and Romanian, each with its switch. See Autocorrect. |
| Key size | The height of the keys, and with it of the whole keyboard: 80% to 130%, 88% by default. The keyboard under the box changes as you slide. |
| Bottom offset | How far up from the bottom edge the keyboard sits, on top of the room kept for the gesture bar: 0 to 80 dp, 0 by default. |
| Long press delay | 50 to 550 ms, 200 by default. See Long press. |
| Key balloon stays | How long the balloon over a key stays after the finger lifts: 10 to 110 ms in steps of 10, 40 by default. Longer keeps the letter in sight when the finger covers it. |
| Key balloon size | How big the balloon over a pressed key is: 80% to 180%, 100% by default. A bigger balloon also sits higher above the key, so it stays clear of a large fingertip. |
| Vibration | Off by default; a Strength slider, 1% to 100%, when on. See Sound and vibration. |
| Key sound | On by default, quiet; a Volume slider of its own, 1% to 100%, 15% by default. |
| Restore defaults | Puts every setting above back to its default at once, sliders and switches included, and the keyboard stays open in the Try it box. The autocorrect languages go back to the languages of your phone. The words kept as typed stay. |
| Words kept as typed | Edit the list. See Words kept as typed. |
| Updates | The version, and Check for updates. See Updates. |
