Quentin,

What if...

Could you maybe move your finger along the keyboard, find the letter, then 
rather than moving your finger to insert the letter, instead, add a finger to 
the screen to do a split tap, then hold that second finger, to force a long 
press?  Or, is that only wishful thinking?

Chris.

  I just discovered my trial has expired so it's a bit crippled but I just had 
a bit if a play and found that without talkback running you long press a letter 
to get additional options like accents and acutes. With talkback running I 
couldn't figure out how to get that up.

  I did notice you can change language so maybe if you write in say Spanish 
regularly, there might be a way of quickly changing languages?

  Sorry, that probably didn't help!

    How in the world! in the Nuance Swype keyboard+dragon dictate do I type 
acute letters.  For instance, say I want to type the spanish word for bird.  
The word is:

    pájaro.

    that's P, A-Acute... key word, j, A, r, o.  The first A has an accent on 
it.  Pajaro isn't a word.  what if I want my ñ simble... I.E, señorita.  Or 
maybe the inverted exclaimation mark and inverted question marks... I.E:  

    ¡Me encanta Talkback en Android!  ¿Y ustedes?

    You get the point.  How do I get at those characters?

    Chris.
