Swipe or Hold Letters (Primary Keyboard) to Type Numbers & Symbols (Secondary Keyboard)

14 votes

Like the ? ! ' " and . , : ; keys, every letter key would have a secondary character ( or set of characters ) that would correspond to the keys accessed by the ABC key, which would be accessed by either a directional swipe, hold press, or combination of the two. The more customization options, the better.

Add the number and symbols to the furthest place at long-hold list. It is quite often that only a single digit has to be entered and now an additional stroke (switch to numbers and symbols) has to be made by the user.

Typewise used to have special keys for each key, but they removed the feature. I want it back!
