Deleting
Flikzi has no delete key. Instead, the two space keys and the letters themselves delete, in four ways.
Slide a space key: letters
Press either space key and slide left straight away. Each step deletes one letter. Slide right and they are undeleted, one per step. Let go when it’s right.
Hold, then slide: words and sentences
To delete bigger pieces, hold a space key before you slide. Holding doesn’t delete anything: it picks the size of each step, and the key changes colour to show it.
| Colour | Hold for | Each slide step deletes |
|---|---|---|
| Amber | under 1.6 seconds | one letter |
| Orange | 1.6 seconds | one whole word |
| Red | 3 seconds | one sentence |
Then, still holding, slide left to delete one piece per step and slide right to undelete. The size stays fixed once you start sliding. Slide up to cancel: everything you deleted in that move comes back.
Swipe a letter: a word
A quick swipe left across any letter deletes the last word. A quick swipe right brings back the last thing you deleted.
Undo an autocorrection
If autocorrect changed a word you meant, swipe left (or delete) straight after it. The word goes back to what you typed, and Flikzi won’t correct it again.
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.
