TypeR 1.1 brought several new awesome features to TypeR, including the toolbar with clear, copy, paste, undo, and redo. If that was nice, this is nicer. TypeR 1.2 adds pause keyboard, settings, and insert. The toolbar also got a complete restyle using jQueryUI, making it rounder, bluer, and iconier.
The settings dialog lets you choose how to view your text - maybe you like it bigger, or centered. It also makes it easier to type LTR, important for TypeR 2.0. It also lets you choose whether or not to show that overlarge version of the key upon hovering. Default is off for touchscreens.
Another new thing is fancy quotes. Plain quotes look like this: "He said, 'hi.'" See how straight they are? Fancy quotes look like this: “He said, ‘hi.’”. Most word processors, such as OpenOffice Writer (and MS Word) have this feature.
The insert menu is really nice. I had to add another 2 libraries just for this! You can add the date, parts of the date, the time, parts of the time, AM/PM, the timezone (made possible by jsTimezoneDetect), your country (made possible by geoPlugin), and a line of credit to TypeINT: Typed using TypeR 1.2, made by TypeINT.com.
I found that pressing ctrl+alt led to problems, being a reserved key combination in many cases. Once i pressed ctrl+alt+l to get chirik-yud, and i ended up locking my computer. As a result, i changed it to alt. Cursor movement was also updated: you can now click somewhere in the output box, and it will move the cursor there.
Remember TypeR mini, that's now featured on the TypeINT homepage? It'll be more integrated with TypeR now. More specifically, you'll be able to expand from using mini to using the full version.
There are also a couple bugfixes. You can read the entire release notes here.
Remember, please try it out and give feedback. Your feedback is important!
