About language switching by sliding upwards on space

[RHJihan]

As a user's perspective: the sliding is only limited to the space bar area. If the finger slides beyond the space bar area, it fails to change the language. It seems inconvenient to me.
On the other hand, space bar trackpad or swipe delete works beyond its key area.

I know, this feature just implemented, so it should not be expected as perfect. But I just wanted to address this inconvenience.

Can you explain how it works for you?
When I use it, I can slide to the top of the screen and it still changes languages.

[RHJihan]

Not limited to the space bar area. But the sliding length is short for me.

sometimes it flickers but does not change the language, sometimes changes the language with flickering

It works the same way on my phone. On the other hand, the distance to change language is very short. Do you think you could increase it?

[Helium314]

It's somewhat weird, the switch is supposed to happen at even distances, but it clearly doesn't.
I had it larger initially and found it way too much for the initial change.

FYI: the behavior on my phone is identical to RHJihan's videos.
It might be preferable for the language change to be made in the first row of letters.

[BabyOilJohnson]

Same here. Rather than single action, multiple actions are doing in a single swipe.

[Helium314]

Language steps are four times the distance of cursor move steps. So if you can position the cursor, you should be able to easily select a language.

After testing, setting sPointerStep < 10 in PointerTracker.onMoveEventInternal is really much more user-friendly.
If you drag to the middle of the keyboard, only one language is changed; to change two, drag to the top of the keyboard. Isn't that enough?

With the current value, you can change up to 7 languages. That's quite a lot, isn't it?

[RHJihan]

Agreed. Changing two language is enough for an average user.
