iPhone keyboard tweak

Question

Hi there,

I would reduce the time to get special characters when keeping a touch on the keyboard. Anyone has a clue?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I strongly doubt this is possible using the public API. You'd have a file bug with Apple to ask them to make this possible. It does however seem unlikely, as it would result in differing behavior between apps in a common control.

Answer 2

You could write your own keyboard control for your own app :)

Answer 3

(Undocumented) Override -[UIKeyboardImpl touchLongPressTimer] to call

-(void)touchLongPressTimer {
   [self touchLongPressTimerWithDelay:0.5f]; // default = 1.8125f
}
