This update makes the locale presentation locale non-optional, to make it easier to use. There are also new autocomplete settings to disable next word prediction.
The auto-cancellation gestures that help to fix invalid gestures that may be triggered when scrolling a scroll view in the keyboard toolbar, are now only applied to the topmost row.
The KeyboardKit Pro input toolbar handles the .numbers mode better, by varying its keys based on the keyboard type. Numbers are used for all keyboard types except .numeric, which uses symbols.
The KeyboardKit Pro themes are also tweaked to look better. The .minimal and .swifty themes properly tints the primary buttons for all keyboard types, and highlights tapped buttons.
Conclusion
KeyboardKit 9 is a huge step forward, and makes using KeyboardKit easier than ever before. Many since long requested features are finally in place, and more will come in subsequent minor updates.
