Sinhala Keyboard
---------------

*** Enhanced Wijesekara layout ***

The Wijesekara layout in Sinhala keyboard is an enhanced & highly optimized version of the traditional Wijesekara layout. We have focused on designing a `user-friendly` and `easier to use` Wijesekara layout and our Wijesekara layout will maximize & simplify your Sinhala typing experience with much fewer typing errors.
‣ type `pilla` twice to get the longer `pilla` (no need to use the shift button to move to shifted layout)
‣ long press for `Murdhaja` letter
‣ tap & hold the space bar to move the cursor
‣ auto-remove partial vowels or letters

*** Enhanced Singlish layout ***

Singlish is a transliteration layout for people who like to type Sinhala with equivalent English letter sounds. This is the most popular layout on our keyboard with a superior Sinhala typing experience. This layout is much easier and faster to use and anyone can type without any prior experience.
We have optimized and enhanced the performance of this layout with a completely re-designed Unicode rendering and powerful text building engine.
‣ ability to type normal socially accepted phonetic sounds without memorizing new & complicated key combinations.
‣ phonetic letter suggestion for faster typing [eg. D will suggest all the letters with sounds like D, DH, etc - this is separate from word suggestions]
‣ letter + H for `Murdhaja` letters [eg. T & TH, P & PH etc]
‣ examples
- ng, nd, etc for ganga, sandha
- gna, kna, etc gnaanhaya, sinkno
- bh, th, nh, etc thuupaaraamaya, bhaarathaya
- quick quiz: can you read this `gnaanapaala`, that is how you write it on this keyboard

*** English, Emoji & Symbol layouts ****
Fully featured layouts for English, Emoji & Symbols

*** Special keyboard features ****
‣ long-press on any key to change the cursor position
‣ smart Unicode rendering (insert valid full Unicode characters without dangling/partial vowel symbols)
‣ double-tap on the spacebar for the period (dot) symbol
‣ double-tap on the period (dot) key for the comma symbol
‣ double tap on the `pilla` symbol to get `longer pills` (e.g. double tap on Papilla to get Longer Papilla)

The message from the Huawei Security centre says, this app has right to collect keystrokes. This is a security concern. But i used this app for sometime and it is better than any other sinhala keyboard apps in the google PlayStore. Except this critical concern.

The app can't turn tapping sound off, so getting used to it has become an unpleasant task. How to fix it?
