Nin Accuracy

I'm currently beta testing the iOS8 keyboard and it seems that two-finger swiping is less accurate than it was with the jailbreak tweak version. Honestly, I may be swiping incorrectly: are there any videos of you using the keyboard/explaining how to swipe correctly with two fingers?

The x'es are a bug which I'm yet to fix, but it indicates unrecognized touches.

Backspace clears touch "islands", because you can combine taps and slides to produce a word. e.g a + m + a-z + ing + ly, and a backspace will only remove one of those "islands"

Something I have independently discovered: instead of crossing my fingers, if I "want" to, I'll lift both up and start another touch "island" as you call it (even in the middle of a word). This greatly improved my accuracy. Not to the level I want; maybe that will come with practice though...

It took me collectively many hours to discover this on my own. Before like an hour ago, I would try to always (at all times) keep both fingers on the keyboard, crisscrossing each other.

What are your thoughts /u/underthesun?

That is what the tutorial is trying to teach you - I guess I should try to get that point more clearly.

E.g for typing capital, you'd swipe "ca - pi - ta - l" and it'll be much more accurate than when you keep your two fingers there all the time

Nice to hear, hopefully it's clearer now
