Description

A really nice feature the default iOS keyboard is the sound feedback of typing, making it clear when a key is registered.
While haptic feedback does not seem to exist in the default iOS keyboard, it is also a great feature to add, making each tap really satisfying.

It is important to add that I think these features need to be separately tunable, since some people may find one or both of these features annoying or too strong / soft.

Hey @Clozent! Thanks for opening the issue :) :) It's definitely something for later, and we'll for sure keep this issue open and see how the interest in it develops. As of now we want to make sure that we're not asking for any user data whatsoever as we're still in the early stages. In order for sounds to be played, Scribe would need to ask the user for access to their microphone when they try to activate a keyboard, and if memory serves me the wording in the system UI isn't very good such that people might worry that we're accessing more than they'd be comfortable with us having.

I'd say that haptic feedback would be of lower priority as it's not expected at all. Both would as you say need menu options and be off by default as maybe that would allow us to not need to directly ask for device access on activating the keyboard, but only when they turn them on in Scribe's settings.

Definitely something to keep our eye on though! Again, appreciate you bringing this up 😊
