Hi

I'm not sure if it's the right place to post this. If not - i'll do it there as well.

Two enhancements I thought will be very usefull for the magnificent uKeyboard application:

1. Every time a letter is pressed, the finger (well, at least mine...) is hiding the letter pressed, and sometimes, for people with big fingers (like me...), it's really hard to see if they press the right one.

So there's the yellow letter that shows what is the letter that's going to be pressed.
Perhaps instead (or in addition) to that, a hover balloon above the pressed letter will show a bigger version of the letter being pressed? (I took the idea from similar on-screen keyboard on other phones).

2. when trying to put the cursor in the middle of a sentence or a word, it's pretty hard to be accurate and get the exact location inside the word/sentence that the cursor should be in.

Again, this is not my idea - I've seen it with other phones. How about a kind of "magnifier", that magnify the part of the sentence, and moving the finger right/left will move the cursor position - but in a much slower rate, so putting the cursor in the right place will be more accurate?

A picture is better than a thousand words so for the first suggestion, you can see an example here:

beginning at 1:13 of the video, and for the second one I don't have a video example but when I'll have one I'll add it.

I'm afraid this post has been missed (or ignored - maybe it's too boring) but I'll give it another chance to be in the "Active Topics" for a few seconds...
