Tillthey removed it by purpose to get rid of an extra button, swipe left instead
they could even remove the space buttons. as you can swipe right to add a space -

DominikA function to delete the Text in front of the Cursor like Delete in Windows would be nice. As far as I know its only possible to delete text left of the cursor.

Aaron. MergedWhy
I have been using your application for a week because I am constantly trying to get better
I am about to delete this because you all are SO ARROGANT to think your design is so perfect that people will not even need a BACKSPACE KEUc
KEY

Evan Stites-ClaytonHello awesome creators of typewise. I am a big fan of hexagonal design and I was THRILLED when I found out that you had reinvented the keyboard using such a layout for smartphones. I have been using this keyboard for the past week and it's definitely much easier to find the keys. I'm a tech founder myself and a part of a lot of hacker / founder communities. I am on the verge of recommending this product to all of my friends... except for one thing - the lack of a backspace yet... (to be cont'd)

Evan Stites-ClaytonWhy is it bad that you don't have a backspace key? There are two major reasons:
(1) The "back swipe" gesture is often captured as a keypress instead of a backswipe (at least for me). I'm definitely back swiping but I guess not enough for it to register as not just a key press. This creates an infuriating loop where you try to delete, accidentally type another letter, now you have two things to delete, etc. etc. -

Evan Stites-Clayton(2) The Back swipe motion is not ergonomic. Compared to just tapping something, it is much more strenuous and prone to creating RSI. Particularly trying to do multiple back swipes in a row is very uncomfortable. I know there is the hold and swipe method for deletion - I think this is good when you really need to delete whole sentences, etc, but it is a pain to delete anything between 2-10 characters.

GuidoWhy a backspace Button? So we have more buttons like on a regular keyboard (probabely go back to regular keyboard would be the solution?)? I'm happy that there is no backspace button.

CloeThis would honestly be so nice as not every user has this keyboard so they can type as fast as possible. I think alt layoutsmare cool and i like learning new things so that's why i installed it. But a lack of any ability to easily backspace... i dint care about speed and tbh i'm glad i don't use a ton of puncutuation cause swiping is hard for me. It doesn't always hit my swipes so sometimes i end up adding in letters in this swiping game. Spoiler alert: i often lose. Just let us backspace button

JonLove the concept. I just cant reliably delete a single character. Just needs a simple backspace key.

amandaadd a dedicated delete/backspace button and facility to turn it on or off from setting.

AlfYes, please add at least the option to enable a button for backspace! It’s the only thing that keeps me from using it, a button is just so much easier than swiping.
You could make it optional to:
Replace 123 with delete
Replace 😃 with 123
Add 😃 as swipe up gesture for enter button or just leave it, since all iphones since X already have a dedicated emoji button on the bottom left -

DaniI like the idea of Dominik
"A function to delete the Text in front of the Cursor like Delete in Windows would be nice. As far as I know its only possible to delete text left of the cursor."
You do not need that the gestures of both spacekeys operate in the same way. So one gesture to swipe from left to right on the left spacekey might really can do that, as long it is technicaly implementable. -

Ian CossetteI would add this in the top bar or in the lower left or right hand corner

Marc GuttI like to have a seperate del / backspace button on the numbers page. The reason is, that some websites use wysiwyg editors, which do not delete quote or code blocks with the usual back swiping. As an example you could check a forum which uses the Invision Community Software. At the moment I parallel use the hackers keyboard if this problem occurs.

E. GurrI miss the backspace with typewise! This is an essential key to me and without it I'm just way too slow!
Isn't it possible to make the button available as an option? So only the people who need the key would have the key and the others could use the keyboard as before...
I would very much like to use typewise ... but without backspace the keyboard will not come on my device! -
