<p>I believe there are two scenarios possible. Your kindergarten teacher and D.J. Trump (and Obama, et al) were all appointed in their roles by God.<p>Or neither.<p>I don't think the president is one bit more important or special than any of the teachers I've had. I know he does think so, but that's his business, not mine.</p>

<p>It takes some getting used to, e.g. ö used in both Hungarian and German is in two different places for the two languages.<p>I do ctrl-space a lot, but very rarely use the long press feature, mainly because depending on the active keyboard, the numbers to press are different and it hinders me from being able to type blindly.<p>Edit: I adore papanași.</p>

<p>I type in 4 languages on my Mac (en/hu/de/ro) and 7 on my iPhone (+ru/cn/fr)<p>So I guess I'm pretty much the perfect audience here.<p>Every time I code I get mildly enraged by having typed é or ö instead of a semicolon.<p>Will definitely give this a go.<p>I really like the (lack of a) business model, too, I hope some people will appreciate your efforts. This was probably my favourite bit. All these small apps that somehow <i>need</i> to figure out an extra feature just so that they can upsell. I get it, but it's still annoying.<p>This ones gives off the goold old vibes of "I scratched my own itch and I'm sharing".<p>Appreciate it!</p>
