Gestures (new swipe patterns, shortcuts)

Feature Description

If swipe typing is disabled, then long swipes aren't needed. In that case a long swipe is treated as a tap. It would be more intuitive to treat it as a short swipe.

Problem This Solves

It's not currently feasible to use a MessageEase style layout because short swiping requires too much precision.

Proposed Solution

No UI necessary, but could be a settings toggle.

Alternative Solutions

Another solution would be to significantly raise the short swipe maximum or turn it off completely. 250px is far too low.

Priority Level

High (would significantly improve my workflow)

Implementation Considerations

  • This might require neural model changes
  • This might need new UI components
  • This could impact performance
  • This might affect privacy/security
  • This could require system-level permissions
  • This might need hardware acceleration
  • I'm willing to help implement this
