@gruber Weird. The character preview has been a stalwart of Apple keyboards for so long…

@gruber I case-shifting keyboard. I never could understand why on Earth a _virtual_ keyboard wouldn't do this.

@gruber Has the photo picker in 3rd party apps been fixed? It got slow as balls with iCloud Photos.

@gruber you can turn the key preview back on and you can shut off the keyboard shift.

@gruber Case shifting is a terrible fix for the shift-key confusion problem. Draws attention to the keyboard b/c it's constantly changing.

@gruber did not realize that was an option, assumed bug.

@gruber but still is one of the best and most obvious solution to the shift-key-gate. No need to learn anything.

@gruber Case-shifting is what irked me most when trying certain Android keyboards. I find it rather distracting as I type.

@gruber Thankfully you can turn the case shifting off in Accessibility. It’s really distracting.

@gruber one of the last ironical (no reason keyboard should be static all caps) skeuomorphs gone?

@gruber how's stability on i6?

@gruber I couldn’t stand that they didn’t have case sensitive keys. Makes so much more sense. One of my main reasons to jb before 3rd keyboa

@gruber I coulda swore the iOS keyboard had case shifting early on. Like video support and GPS.

@gruber I didn’t even notice those letter pop out. I just look at where the text is. But that’s just me.

@gruber oh, password fields gonna be tricky.
