Space bar text customization

[N3xtery]

Add the ability to customize the space bar text for different layouts

I think it'd be cute to have your own little message on the space bar 😌

@N3xtery can you provide some more explanation?
Such short issues have a good chance of resulting in something you hadn't wanted/expected, but still fits with what you wrote.

Each layout has its language name written on the space bar. In this example it's "English". I suggest it should be possible to change it to something else

[BlackyHawky]

Totally agree 👍

[Helium314]

OK, so just replace the text.
No need to bother with having any dynamic information like enabled languages in there.

Just was looking for this today, I have a lot of languages on the space bar... Any implementation around this would be appreciated!

[BlackyHawky]

We can only hope that this enhancement will be available in the next release.

This will be available in the next version.
If you don't want to wait, you'll have to compile the application yourself.

Is there a tutorial on how to compile?

@N3xtery
You can use Android Studio software, and you'll easily find tutorials on the web.

For a debug APK this is very simple: just fork the project on GitHub (button near top right on page), go to "actions" on your fork and run the "Build debug APK" workflow. After a few minutes you can download the APK.

Alternatively you can wait for the next beta I plan to release tomorrow.

Glad you're back! I downloaded the beta, it works, but I expected the space bar text would be customizable per each layout, not globally
