Deleting
Flikzi has no delete key. The space bar deletes instead.
Swipe the space bar
Press the space bar and swipe left. Each step deletes one letter, or one whole emoji. Swipe right and they come back, one per step. Only what you deleted since you last typed can come back. Let go when it's right.
If text is selected, a swipe left deletes the selection.
Keep holding to repeat
Keep your finger down at the end of the swipe and it repeats, faster the longer you hold. It keeps going past the ends of words, so you can clear a whole line in one move.
Changed your mind mid-way? Turn back a little, about the width of a key, and it switches direction: deleting becomes restoring, and back again.
Straight after a word
Delete straight after a word and Flikzi opens that word again:
- If autocorrect changed the word, your own letters come back, and they are not corrected again.
- The strip shows the other words it could be, so you can tap a different one.
Straight after a word you glided, one swipe left takes the whole word away. Swipe right to bring it back, a letter at a time.
Holding still moves the cursor
A swipe starts moving straight away. If you hold the space bar still until it buzzes, and slide after that, you move the cursor and nothing is deleted. Moving the cursor
In the emoji panel
The emoji panel has its own delete key. Hold it to repeat.
Turn on Vibration (Flikzi, Keyboard) for a light buzz on each delete step.
