Summary

  • add an enabled-by-default Swipe settings option for a deliberate left swipe on ordinary keyboard keys
  • select preceding words proportionally to swipe distance and delete the selection on release
  • preserve swipe typing, space/delete gestures, flick keys, multi-touch, and normal taps

Tests

  • ./gradlew testUnstableDebugUnitTest compileUnstableDebugSources --console=plain

Notes

The gesture excludes modifier, flick, space, and delete keys so their existing behaviours remain unchanged.
