This keyboard is just great.
Just to maximize its use, there should be an option to remove the line below if the 'confirm' function, and if the 'delete' function.
A separate option to remove the second line of the visibility of the words and letters and the input mode.
Also, it is very useful to add a function that the keyboard icon in the status bar will be changed according to the typing mode, in number mode there will be a sign of numbers and in normal letter mode there will be a marking of letters, and in prediction mode there will be a marking of letters with a bold line.
The marking of the letters will be according to the same language.
All this instead of just a keyboard tick.
Added an option to use the keyboard in normal mode before loading the dictionary, (for a device that is not yet connected to the Internet)
In prediction mode, adding an option to add a word including a symbol from key 1, for example if I use a lot of why? or when? or even an email address @gmail.com.
Thank you for your work

Regarding the first thing you wrote that it would be possible to remove the line, this option is already there.
As for the other things, it does seem to me to be good things that will really help users

As for the last thing, it depends, because if it's in the middle of a word then it works like here #652,
But what you asked for will indeed be very helpful. For example at the end of a word, or at the beginning of a word [like why? or @gmail].

Correct. You can change the layout from Settings -> Appearance.

Also, it is very useful to add a function that the keyboard icon in the status bar will be changed according to the typing mode, in number mode there will be a sign of numbers and in normal letter mode there will be a marking of letters, and in prediction mode there will be a marking of letters with a bold line.

There used to be language icons, but I could never make them look good on all devices. Besides, the whole process of creating a new icon and making sure all have the same look and feel takes too much time and effort. It's more than I am willing to do, sorry!

And last but not least, it can realistically be done only using Android Studio, which makes adding a new language too complicated. I do not want to turn down people who are willing to add a new language, but have little or no technical skills, or they just don't want to install Android Studio for such a simple task.

Added an option to use the keyboard in normal mode before loading the dictionary, (for a device that is not yet connected to the Internet)

I am not sure what you mean. I suppose "normal" mode is ABC mode, but even if so, there are no limitations about it. You can switch to it at any time, no matter if you are connected to the Internet or not, or if a dictionary is loading or not.

In prediction mode, adding an option to add a word including a symbol from key 1, for example if I use a lot of why? or when? or even an email address @gmail.com.

Absolutely not. Special characters in the added words are out of the question. Due to technical reasons, it is possible that they could cause missing suggestions or no suggestions at all. Also, in very specific scenarios, they could crash the application.

On the other hand, I can consider adding such combinations to the factory dictionary. I can see how "why?" and "when?" can be useful. Just provide a list of all the combinations in all languages you use. I will review them and possibly add them, provided that there are no technical issues with that.

Finally, you can already type domains like ".com". I can also add stuff like "@gmail", too. Just give me a list of all the "words" you can think of.

Word list:
@gmail.com
google.com

To the Hebrew dictionary
למה?
מתי?
בטוח?
ככה!
טוב!
חח😂😂
To the English dictionary
Good night!
Good morning!
Why?
When?
Sure?
Make it so that every time you write the word with the number 1 added, the other characters will appear.

".com" is available as a separate word. You can combine it with anything else, including "gmail" and "google". Just type "4664531266" for "google.com" or "462451266" for "gmail.com".

As for the words with question marks or exclamation marks at the end, I just realized that adding those will break typing words with apostrophes or domains like "google.com". Unfortunately, it is not possible to add such shortcuts. I'll have to decline all requests.
